Across the world,

War has become a language,

That is heard everywhere,

And it speaks louder than peace.


Mothers and children struggle to survive in fragile shelters. They flee their homes, walking through war zones where every step is a choice between life and death.


On the frontlines, soldiers build walls of sandbags to shield themselves from bullets and explosions. Yet, children have nowhere to hide.


But what if those sandbags were built for the protection of children, to ensure their right to live in safety and peace?


The Calling of Children is a reminder to the world that every human being deserves peace, dignity, and the right to live. No one deserves to be killed in war. When children call for protection, they call not only for themselves but also for their parents, their rights, and their chance to grow into responsible citizens of the world.


The Artist’s Message

“This work is for the children who never asked to be in war zones, for the mothers who carry them, and for the futures we still have thepower to protect.”
