In this striking pencil drawing, the artist reflects on a tragic chapter
from his life before arriving in Kakuma.
A man from his village was wrongfully imprisoned, accused of a
crime he did not commit. As the family’s sole provider, his absence
left his wife in desperate poverty, unable to feed their children. The
result was heartbreaking, her children became severely
malnourished, their lives marked by suffering and uncertainty.
Through this piece, the artist captures not only his personal grief but
also the devastating ripple effects of injustice upon families and
communities.
