This is Issam: the child who keeps looking for his lost friends.

"More than 51,000 children have disappeared in Europe in recent years. This image of Issam, a young refugee without parents, reminds us of the invisible stories of children (...) Issam counts - but his counting is not a game. He is looking for the friends he lost along the way, each with their own story of hope and loss."
A very moving sculpture.

The photo shows a boy called Issam, a sculpture in the Skam Museum in Ghent. It is a refugee child, leaning its head against the wall and covering its eyes like in the children's game where you count and then look for your friends who are hiding. To the left is a black block the size of a stool.
