Artist's Comments

A statue of a boy near the Peace Park in Hiroshima. The boy here, to me, looks very kind and full of hope after the tragedy that occured years back. I was touched that someone had knitted him a scarf to keep him warm :aww:
Holding the bird, he reminds me of the fairytale "The Happy Prince", a statue who told a swallow to pluck the jewels and gold leaf from him and give them to the poor.

Hehe, in australia, not many people would consider knitting a scarf for a homeless person, let alone a statue of a boy...

Very emotional photograph I feel a lot of sorrow for the people of Hiroshima even though it was many many years ago and I had nothing to do with what we did as the allied nations, I will always feel guilty that as a member of man kind I am an offspring off such a destuctive generation. :(
