"A Show Of Respect"
by artist Helen Broadfoot,

is a body of work painted for the children of war.
This exhibition is comprised of ten large oil paintings. It underscores the violation of these children’s basic human rights. Each painting depicts a child from a different country and chronicles ways that war effects children. Children die, children are forced to become soldiers, children are captured and sold into brothels and children are displaced and spend their young lives (often their whole lives) as refugees.

A major component of each piece is the inclusion of one of the articles of "The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights".
These articles are painted on the canvas in the language of the child depicted in the painting.
Beside each painting in the exhibit is the translation of the article into English as well as the inspiration for the painting itself.
