 | This painting was designed by Hubert Schmidleitner, Berlin. It shows parents and their infant in front of the international symbol for radioactivity as background. Full of despair, the father knees down at the feet of his wife, who holds her deformed or even dead child in her arms. He hides his face in the thigh of his wife, shattered by the disaster that overtook the family. Maybe at this moment the father becomes aware of the effects that may be caused by having contact to depleted uranium; which invisible enemy he now has in his body, who has harmed his gametes and now is responsible for the deformations of his child. Maybe he just becomes aware of the curse on his his family and all succeeding generations. |
