Jamal

I was working on this piece when I heard about the murder of Jamal Kashoggy.
My fingers were bleeding and then I knew it had to be about him.

Liu Xia

This work is a tribute to Liu Xia, the chinese painter, poet. and photographer who lived for eight years under effective house arrest in her appartment. No mobile, no computer, no contact with the outside world, 24 hours aday surveillance. Hardly any contact with her imprisoned, now deceised, nobelprice winning husband Liu Xiabo. She lives and works in Germany now.
