Tears of Gold Portraits of Yazidi, Rohingya, and Nigerian Women by Hannah Rose Thomas

 

Young British artist Hannah Rose Thomas conveys the resilience and stoucism of these persecuted women brilliantly in her powerful portraits, in which she uses gold leaf reminiscent of beautiful Greek and Russian icons. She looked for the Divine in these women, and she certainly found it! Every portrait is accompanied by the story and the self-portrait of the individual women. Many of them are unbelievably harrowing. This is a memorable book.
