Motodop Taxi Driver - Linocut - 38 x 27cm - Created in Cambodia - 2010

This man lost both his legs in a landmine blast during the 1980’s. He lives in the same village as the children depicted in Open Window’. Since 1979 over 63,500 landmine and ERW (explosive remnants of war) casualties have been recorded in Cambodia, and with over 25,000 amputees Cambodia has the highest ratio per capita in the world. This man had very cleverly adapted his motorbike so he could work as a motodop taxi driver; he is a well-respected figure in the local community.
