Body 1939
These paper-cut illustrations are from a book I made about my grandmother's life and her early teenage years in the Netherlands during World War II. Each story she told me is symbolised by an illustration of a different body part.
The Face - Introduction to my grandmother
Hands - My grandmother's resourcefulness and creativity during the war
The mind - My grandmother's emotional stress during the war
The Heart - The victims of WWII
Lungs - My grandfather's death to lung cancer
Veins - The different routes of life
