…..Did the people understand some of these works?
…..At first glance some did not but oftentimes they would approach us to find out more and we would explain to them. A typical example is the the wonderful work about human trafficking through the Mediterranean Sea and the dangers around it using effigies and some toys by Enoh Lienemann.
