Ahus

I painted more than 40 characters on the walls of the rooms and hallways in Akershus University Hospital's children's department at Lørenskog on the outskirts of Oslo.

Children in need of long-term treatment, such as cancer, or receiving orthopedic or surgical treatment, must spend many weeks in the department. During Christmas it was not possible for them to be visited by either siblings or friends due to strict corona measures.

Frode Skaren: “We won´t save lives with these images, but maybe we can save a moment."

Thank you to Algarheim barneskole, Mailand vgs, Barnekreftforeningen Oslo og Akershus, and LillestrømBanken for the support.
