She is a little angel, sweet and innocent and her soul death is happening right before your eyes. Unless a viewer opens the box they will not know what is happening or happened to this child. If only people took the time to see, but some people don’t want to see because seeing means they have to do something about it. For some it is much easier to live in denial that confront the personal, professional and moral ramifications of accepting that someone you love or know is a sexual predator. That is why so many of these predators get away with it.
Media: oil on wood, vintage box, door handle, tin wings, condom and glass sweet.
