Representation matters ..

Here is a picture of my oldest son, he asked me to take it.

Minutes before I took this picture we had arrived to the hotel after a long driving trip coming from our Christmas holiday in Paris. Louis came in to the hotel room and the first thing he saw was this painting above the bed .. His tired face lit up and he got so happy and said - Det er jo mig!!! - It is me!!! and then he said, mum take a picture of me and the painting. I felt like stealing it and bringing it home ..

Representation does matter and we should all embrace and make a big deal out of it anytime we can do something about it!

Painting - Sleeping boy 1961, by Izabella Godlewska.
