This painting shows a fleeing fearful family with the parents holding their children in their arms. In the background there are dark doorways, and a reduced and blurred image of the desperate family appears amidst a row of arches disappearing into the distance. The work indicates that the story of people being forced to leave their homes and countries is one that has been repeated through the ages, but perhaps also holds out the hope that the family could be heading towards a better future.
