the owl and the pussycat/ the refugee crisis

owl and cat japanese

This is my image in response to Toshiko Hasumi’s manga outrage. The text reads: “Asylum* needed”

after 366 days in a boat

You don’t have to be cute to need help

Refugees are not the enemy- they are in need

They did not choose to be victims- of war, of prejudice, of abuse.

The original picture of Judi in a Lebanese refugee camp was taken by Jonathan Hyams. I have drawn a quick picture of him here:

One thought on “the owl and the pussycat/ the refugee crisis”

  1. A very strong message. Spectacularly beautiful way to draw attention with loveliness where the reality is so harsh that people almost naturally turn away from it.
