This captivating artwork pays tribute to the resilience and strength of Congolese children living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C) and enduring the hardships of child labor.

The focal point of the painting is a portrait of a Congolese boy, his presence commanding attention and evoking a sense of dignity. Adorning his head is a crown, symbolizing his inherent worth and potential. On the left side of his face, intricate tattoos shaped like a Congolese mask add a layer of cultural symbolism, representing the rich heritage and identity that the sechildren carry with them despite their circumstances.
