We Were Children Once … and Soldiers
December 2, 2025 – February 28, 2026
Location: Duncan Gallery
Conceptualized and produced by Emil Rasen, We Were Children Once … and Soldiers diorama reimagines a war-torn landscape inhabited by toy soldiers, confronting the contrast between childhood play and the grim reality of warfare. At its center, two human figures cling to each other in a crater of mud and blood, a haunting reminder that war is no game.
Curator: Emil Rasen
