Fox Solomon’s interest in ethnic and religious conflicts led her to return to Northern Ireland repeatedly starting in 1988. Through her portraits of young children in Belfast, she sensitively illustrated how deeply the daily lives of this most innocent and vulnerable group of people were shaped by the effects of the Troubles. As in other series of works, Rosalind Fox Solomon here draws attention to the vulnerability of human existence with her open, direct, and consistently empathetic gaze, shedding light on the lived reality of her subjects, which is significantly shaped by their affiliation with a particular religion or ethnic group.
