378. The betrayal of the barbed wire acrylic on canvas 30 x 40 cm

Description: At three years old, while in residential home, I went on a group walk and saw a beautiful rose in a meadow. As I reached for it, a horse came running to me,  I hurried  back in fear  and barbed wire slashed my head from front to back. Despite the blood streaming down my face and intense pain, the staff forbade me from crying and forced me to complete the entire walk. My reward for staying a group member and hiding my pain was a lollipop.
