About this artwork
My visit to Bangladesh in 2022 was as a guest of the social purpose organisation Friendship. I was to see how climate change was devastating Bangladesh and this involved visiting many islands.… These islands were constantly flooding and would completely disappear when the floods came. When the visit finished, I started walking back to our small boat when I saw this child. He stood on a boat staring out at the waters. We knew that floods were coming and there was a desperate fear in the air. The silence was so loud when I saw this child. I saw fear in his eyes. He would warn his family when he saw the floods coming, they would all evacuate on this small wooden boat.
I knew that I had to paint this fear.
