Description
A woodcut in plywood print depicting a family group. All of the figures are averting their gaze or have their eyes covered with the exception of the young male figure in the centre right side. The image documents a 'coming of age' moment when an adolescent is no longer shielded to experiences outside the family's values and environment.
