Where's God When You Need Him?
By Hannah, Twickenham
Age 12

When you ask someone who is a strong believer in God why are all these people suffering in the world? They would probably say something along the lines of "they're being tested by God and it's all to make them a better person". I disagree to this as I'm agnostic. I say why are people being tested to death when they probably don't deserve it and have many other problems in life in the first place.

This is why my artwork has the title Where's God When You Need Him? I chose darker colours for the land and hut as it is the boy's home but the sky and sun are bright because they are mostly shared by well-off and healthy people. The white/yellow circle around the boy's head is where I believe God should be (hence the Godly colours) looking over this poor, hungry, suffering, dying boy's shoulder caring for him, providing him with food and life.
