That is a bigger number than it was after the World War II. The government is trying to help them but not quick enough. Most of these refugees live in horrible conditions. No one is seeking to help these people through these dire situations either.
So, a Syrian refugee and an artist set out to make a difference. Abdalla Al Omar wanted to send a powerful message to the world leaders as they need to do do something about it.
Abdalla Al Omar started a project named ‘The Vulnerability Series’. He draws portraits of World leaders as refugees and tries to show what refugees face every day. These pictures include, but are not limited to, Donald Trump, Barack Obama and David Cameron.
“Intimate hours I spent with them have thought me more than I could imagine. Just as easily as everything worth defending can become defenseless, moments of absolute powerlessness can give you superpowers. In this universe without gravity, all we can hold on to is our vulnerability. I have convinced myself it is the strongest weapon humankind possesses, way more powerful than the trail of power games, bomb craters and bullet holes in our collective memories. Vulnerability is a gift we should all celebrate.” Abdalla explains on his website.
