The first three portraits are about three young girls. All three are set against a colourful flowery background. At first glance, they look like brightly coloured paintings, where each girl looks at you with an uninhibited and innocent look.
"Indigo Daisy" is a child soldier from Liberia. She stands in a meadow of wild daisies. The blue flower garland on her head should draw the viewer's attention, not the gun she's holding in her hand. Every child has the right to protection in times of war, but that does not mean that you should give every child a gun to protect themselves against the violence of war.
