The horrific crime of child-rape and child-abuse is represented by this work, Children’s Stories.

Two broken dolls lie in a metal ammunition box that has been lined with shiny pink fabric, the kind that would attract a child. The box is ‘closed off’ by a sheet of glass. The lid is covered with newspaper reports of child-rape incidents, which can be read through a translucent pink fabric.
