Primeiro Socorros (First Aid)

Dimension: 65 x 80cm

Private Collection

According to the legend, East Timor originated from the time a young boy first aided to rescue a crocodile, which later returned the favour by helping the young boy to see the world, and by becoming the Island of East Timor.
Influenced by my work as an interpreter and translator for the Ambulance project, this painting is an attempt to express the necessity of first aid in East Timor as we struggle as an independent nation. Just like the young boy, this very young nation of East Timor needs rescuing in order to grow strong for the future generations to come.
