In South Africa we have a growing problem where children are taking over the role of the parent due to death or illness. These children take on the responsibilities of the household in order to survive and provide a future for their siblings. A child-headed household is like a vine without support as they don't have the support from their parents represented in the cut off base in the vine. The childs face is represented in the vine and in the background is a path which acts as the journey that these children face and double up as tears, as these situations are difficult and often scary. The houses in the distance act as the eyes of the child and the ideal future that they wish to be apart of the ideal home.
