Displaced III
We are living in a troubled world where anger, cruelty, self-interest, and injustice are driving people from their homes. Unfortunately, this has always been the case from time immemorial and for many reasons we seem unable to live peacefully with each other.
We have just lived through a period where being at home was the safest place and caring for each other was the way to get through the pandemic. But even so conflict and flight were always in the background and for may the idea of a home was just a dream.
We are now living through another conflict in Ukraine and images of displaced people losing their homes are being etched on our minds
In these pieces that idea of a home, a place to live in peace, is something to cherish.
