The crisis is for those who can afford it Painting

On one of my holidays overseas I heard a story about a little girl who had been abused and locked away because she stole a loaf of bread. Her father hid her in a shed on one of the fields on which he worked. The shed was for the workers and inside there was only a table, chair, mirror and toilet. The little girl was eventually found emaciated and in a state of hallucination. She passed away one day later, leaving nothing more than her little slippers under the table. I went to visit the shed of only 1 by 2 meters. The fear and abandonment were tangible, oppressive but strangely enough, also serene. Everything was completely intact, just as it had been left. Even the little slippers, half disintegrated. Later I discovered in my research that the offender had experienced the same treatment in his own youth. He was punished by his father at a young age and locked away for stealing the neighbour’s meat. He almost didn’t survive. Several weeks after the death of his daughter he committed suicide.
