Palau Robert Exhibition Picture

This photo shows a mother with two boys running after they cross the border. It’s very expressive, powerful and sensitive. When I see it I feel sad because I know there are more people that have to leave his country due to the troubles.

In the background of the picture there is a fence that separate Serbia of Hungary. The field is with bad grass. In the foreground there are three persons (a mother with two children) running. The photo is very spontaneous.

Yes, of course: the language; the port, we don't have port in Switzerland, we don't have sea; there are too much lights here and a lot of people, even we have a lot of people now in Switzerland. We have a lot of mountains, a lot of snow.

The tour slowed more than a month because the weather condition. In Australia met his wife and daughters. The custom officials wanted to check him.

I admire him because he’s brave and romantic too. He likes adventure. I’m not capable of do what he did.
