name withheld

from : Burundi

personal object : myself

I choose myself because when I had to flee my country, I did not have the opportunity of taking any of my belongings with me. Since I have been here, I value myself as ME – and I am also a representation of my belongings.

chosen artwork : Make Art Not War    Bob and Roberta Smith, 1997

This artwork has a deep meaning for me as art can help us to express our own self and connect with other people. On the other hand, war separates people. There is a contrast of meanings within one piece.
