This art piece was created by Yohan Daza and was inspired by a photograph created by Bahareh bisheh from Iran.  The original photograph didn't intended to have any kind of deep meaning, but it has created a lot of conversation online regarding girls, that are abandoned around the world.

 We all need the sense of a mother in our life. In this painting, this young teenage girl wants to have a sense of belonging.  So she drew an imaginary mother that she could cuddle close to.  She keeps her shoes outside of her mother's drawing because she is on sacred ground.

 I want to challenge people to take action in the issue of Gendercide, and not just feel sad about it.  I want people to read and learn about the issue and find ways to stop gendercide.  We can't abandon girls around the world; perhaps we can make the drawing on the ground real for some girls.
