Too Young To See by Yousra EL HADI
 
Working on this piece has been quite different for me. This artwork shows my personal vision towards child marriage, especially during the Covid-19 sanitary crisis that we’re currently going through. The lockdown is having a massive effect on communities, and girls and women are disproportionately affected. This illustration tells the story of a girl who is still naively enjoying life, she is happily celebrating her 9th birthday whilst getting married to a man with whom she is being locked up. However, she is too blindfolded to understand what is going on around her.
 
 
 
Yousra EL HADI aka Yuzzra is a 22 years old architecture student from Algeria. She grew up in a quite artistic environment which led her to digital arts. Yuzzra has been working as a graphic designer and illustrator for the past 2 years. She also spends most of her time practicing, making music and reading poetry. 
 
Yuzzra considers herself as a good tempered versatile person, a perfectionist who is attracted to imperfection and a multitasker. She is also able to sit in the W-position !
