A collective work, made by four friends with different disabilities, expresses in a remarkable way the right each life has to find space and to be welcomed.
The woman in the middle holds in her lap a Down child, at the sides two women look at her: one seems perplexed, the other smiles.
The couple and the spikes are symbols of life and fertility: the great sun is above everyone, health and disabled people; it invites all, also who is perplexed, not to deny anybody of the possibility to live because, as the authors have said, “life is life and it must be protected”.
