Small Legs Grow Tired

Form based on Kurte, Turkmen* child’s robe. Created in response to the plight of children forced to hide in shelters with their parents, barely out of harm’s way, deprived of the simple comforts of home and childhood. 2017

*Turkmenistan is located in Central Asia, bordering the Caspian Sea, between Iran and Kazakhstan.
