Lisa Wines Collage SARAJEVO - WAR & HARDSHIP

A diptych of two images of a Muslim couple foraging for firewood in a ruined cityscape. Behind the woman is the image of a young man, perhaps her son, dead or imprisoned, surrounded by a steel crown of thorns. Behind the man is the image of young boys playing soccer, perhaps now dead or missing, also surrounded by a steel crown of thorns.

Lisa Wines: "We often get wrapped up in the geo-political aspects of war, making it way too easy to forget the human toll. Regular people, like you and me, lose their livelihood, their homes, family members and even their own lives. The destruction is immeasurable and it can be many years before buildings and homes can be re-built and life can 'go back to normal', if that is even possible."
