Lost Boys
Painting
My intent in Lost Boys was to commemorate the casualties of youth in service during wartime; a tribute to those who gave their life before being able to live it. The inspiration for this body of work came from seeing the artworks at the Australian War Memorial and noticing a lack of recognition for underage soldiers who fought and perished for their country. The work represents a moment of humanity amid the chaos of war, inviting the audience into the personal solace of a brief period of peace for six boys simply sharing a cup of tea
