Description
"All of them died except for one." Sahar is a 19-year-old student from Baghdad, Iraq. She is the eldest of five children and daughter of a mechanical engineer. In 2005, her mixed neighbourhood in Baghdad was overrun by insurgents. Her younger brother was killed, another was kidnapped and their house torched.The family fled to neighbouring Syria, where she is studying and taking language and sculpture classes as part of a UNHCR-funded program (in collaboration with the Danish Refugee Council.) UNHCR is also helping with rental subsidies. Sahar writes short stories and works with clay. She says that it's in her nature to be a " silent person" and her art reflects that.
