Children stronger than war? Absolutely. Children are resilient - we see that every day. Fortunately. Because breaking free from war is quite a challenge for children. They have lost a grandmother, a parent or their best friend. Memories of violence are stubborn, making it difficult to trust people. Just like concentrating. Or falling asleep. It is [...]
Children stronger than war? Absolutely. Children are resilient - we see that every day. Fortunately. Because breaking free from war is quite a challenge for children. They have lost a grandmother, a parent or their best friend. Memories of violence are stubborn, making it difficult to trust people. Just like concentrating. Or falling asleep.

It is one thing to take a child out of the war, but it is quite another to take the war out of the child.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
