Working from a photo found on the discarded newspaper Fintan Magee depicts seven Syrian children lining up for water. At first they appear as regular children but as the viewer steps deeper into the space the mirrors distort the image revealing that the line of children stretches infinitely. The children wait to fill empty water vessels that act as symbols for the healing component. This work from Magee comments on the scale of the current refugee crisis and echo’s a cynical view on how history repeats itself.
