The artist has also invited children from around the globe to submit their own artwork as well. The theme should revolve around separation, isolation and connection. The children can send him a drawing, a sketch, a painting or a collage and can become the part this record-breaking artwork. Besides that, they can save the lives of almost 10 million children who are in desperate need of help.
