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 !
