“Mines” addresses the devastating effects of war, particularly on children. The piece features small Lego figures missing arms, legs, or hands. Their incompleteness symbolizes the suffering caused by armed conflicts. The round shape of the individual objects, reminiscent of land mines, further emphasizes the message of the piece. “Mines” encourages reflection on visible and invisible war injuries and reminds us of the innocent victims of violence.
