Rio Negro: censo 2010





IGCSE Art

Estas fotos son parte de mi proceso de las carpetas del examen internacional de arte y los dos trabajos finales: uno hecho en lapices sepia y el otro en acrilicos.





Hijo de las armas

Después de leer el libro "La carretera", elegí como tema para mi video los nenes que tienen que cargar con una responsabilidad muy grande como la de llevar armas. Me pareció interesante porque es algo que no se aplica solo a la historia en donde al chico se le explica incluso que hacer si tiene que matarse para que no lo secuestren sino que también se aplica a la vida real en situaciones de guerra donde hacen que los nenes aprendan a usar armas.
Trate de mostrar como esta temática genera un gran sufrimiento porque es un peso muy grande para los chicos que tienen que cargar con esta responsabilidad. Ademas, mostré una familia rompiéndose al comienzo del video para reflejar lo que sucede en la historia con la muerte de la madre en ese mundo destruido.
Espero que les guste!

Michael Furchert's aunt

We have a big family and we are really united. Before the Berlin Wall was built, we used to gather for every special ocasion: christmas, new year's eve, anniversaries, birthday parties, everything. My brother, Michael's dad, always said the prayers for us and our belief in God is what always made us be a strong family.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't believe our family had been separated like that; it killed me inside to know I couldn't get to see my brother, his wife or even my nephew. We spent months apart since the wall was built and I really missed them all during that time. When my husband and I got to know they were trying to get the approval to cross the wall, we prayed every single night for them. I knew my parents would be really upset if their own son was not present during their 60th anniversary so when I got to know they were coming to spend a day with us, I was full of joy and excitement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been years since the wall was destroyed. I'm old now but the memories will never leave my mind. I remember how grateful we were when we could spend a day together in spite of the wall that had divided us but the best moment of my life was when I could see my family happily together and know that there was nothing dividing us anymore. I will always be grateful to the man that allowed my brother to cross the wall, but even more to God, who made us come together again.
