TEMPTATION
MIKE NYOK
This drawing is difficult to look at, and that is the point. It confronts
a growing crisis in the camp, particularly among young men who
turn to drugs as a way to cope. A looming black murk dominates the
tree, symbolising the dark and uncertain future that awaits and how
many young people are physically, mentally and spiritually
destroying themselves. In the top corner, a small village hints at the
life many refugees once knew, and the stark contrast of how things
might have been.
