Megan Laws Yes (link to follow) TBC London, UK Additional fee or Buyer Collect As Blaise Pascal put it, "We are all something, but none of us are everything". Our world is radically different to how it was even 10 years ago, and with all our development and creativity there comes the unfortunate reality that everywhere we look, there is poverty. Children are our greatest resource for the future and to ignore them is to ignore the future. The selection of photographs presented here have been taken over the last few years, as I have witnessed the drastic differences in the lives children lead across the world. |

Artist: Auctioning: Size: Location: Shipping: Description: | Mother Earth Sheds Tears Of Blood
Andrea Da Costa No N/A London, UK . The piece is made of fleted wool fires combined with hand stitched details. The idea was to create a piece which would provide fuller expereience for the audience, allowing the viewer to also touch the piece. The nice feeling of touching soft wool, and the hurtful feeling of the sharp rose thorns, together, communicates a more complex contact between the viewer and the artist. Both pieces (and 22) portray an unnourished child inside a womb or an egg. The threads coming from the child to the opening of the egg takes the shape of a yellow flower, representing hopes thin thread. Yellow is also the colour of the yoke inside an egg, the vital part which leads to life. The 'fragments' of cocoon egg spread out on both pieces are the shattered and broken protection. Inside the womb we are all the same, we are protected and nurtured by our mothers. Outside, the circumstances decide. The blooming cannot continue. Outside, mother earth is ruptured. Ther territory outside is forbidden for life. |

Sevgi Kaymak Yes (link to follow) TBC London, UK . What these images are supposed to show is the lottery of birth within a city such as London, rather than on a worldwide scale. Postcard of my London shows a postcard version of London with the London Eye; the London that's shown to tourists and is in promotional videos; the London where houses can cost millions and salaries are way up there too. This too is my London but unfortunately, I will always feel out of place there and I look out of place too, which is what I wanted to show with my expression in the photo. We all live in the same city but our lives are completely different. The opportunities set for us are completely different. I'm one of the lucky ones who did manage to get to university (and a good one at that) but it hasn't been easy and wanting to study has already gotten me 20k+ GBP in debt. That's almost twice the amount our families where I was born make in 2 years |

Yemisi Blake Yes (link to follow) TBC London, UK . There is nothing strange about this woman sitting on the platform of Kanyakumari station. However, if the same woman were sat on the floor at Oxford Circus or any other London station, she would be viewed homeless or mad. I've included this picture because it captures a moment that questioned my thinking on the relationship between space and poverty in different countries, and how what you see of someone is often not an accurate guide to their economic status. |
