Nayar saw the Academy Award–winning Born into Brothels, a 2004 documentary film about children living in Calcutta’s red light district who were handed cameras and joyfully taught to reveal the life before their eyes. “The film reaffirmed that the camera is like no other piece of technology,” he said.

For if we are observed in all matters, we are constantly under threat of correction, judgment, criticism, even plagiarism of our own uniqueness. We become children, fettered under watchful eyes, constantly fearful that -- either now or in the uncertain future -- patterns we leave behind will be brought back to implicate us, by whatever authority has now become focused upon our once-private and innocent acts. We lose our individuality, because everything we do is observable and recordable.

Aujourd'hui, des milliers de personnes se feront "enlever" symboliquement en solidarité avec tous les enfants kidnappés et forcés à combattre en tant que soldat. Le problème régit surtout en Uganda où l'armée de Joseph Kony, chef de LRA, aurait une armée composée de 80% d'enfant. Chaque groupe sera "secouru" par une célébrité, un politicien ou un autre visage connu, histoire de faire bruit de cette histoire et d'attirer les médias.
Tran’s works draw us in with saturated colors and blooming shapes only to reveal a sort of darkness. Suggested by the black, wrought iron fences that coil about the trunks of her trees, her art feels akin to that moment in the story when the children realize they have become lost in a wood.

They seem to give us permission to risk taking a neon path to joy. - Molly Norris
