This piece invites viewers into a narrative of abandonment and devastation. The piece resonates with themes of loss trauma and resilience, its meaning open to interpretation. For some, it may reflect the plight of children affected by the war in Ukraine. For others it could symbolize the silent struggles of children caught in the cycles of domestic violence, abuse or trafficking. By leaving its story unresolved, "Left Behind" challenges the viewer to confront their own perceptions of innocence, vulnerability, and the societal failures that allow such tragedies to persist.
