The tent, which serves as an example of a temporary shelter, covered with drawings of barbed wire, metaphorically depicts forcible containment by a situation in which the people affected have no control over. The tent also represents a literal example of a physical form of separation refugees are faced with when fleeing their homes. The hand-written poetry depicts both positive and negative outlooks that we as onlookers can adopt when contemplating issues that we have not experienced first-hand.
