In the 60's and 70's experiments were carried out with group education in which the bond with adults was minimized to almost zero. Children between 2 and 4 years old, were forcibly separated from their mother,  father, family and home and received this 'group education'.  The group and individuals in the group became essential for intimacy, comfort, interactions, playing and 'existence'. 

 

This portfolio is the voice of Tim, a three-year-old co-identity. The work subverts the "Holy Madonna"—the Old Masters’ symbol of unbreakable motherly love. For Tim, this bond was forcibly shattered and replaced by an enforced intimacy among peers- also presented as 'group therapy' or 'peer- only attachment '. This forced attachment  is a blueprint for all aspects of identity in later life. 

Tim cannot fight the system with words, but he "draws back." In each piece, the divine is interrupted. By capturing the desperate search for love while simultaneously crossing out the Holy Mother, he performs a visual rebellion against an "unholy world", which however remains the only reality in later life.
