concept

Most children in poor countries are forced to follow their parents footsteps and work in sweatshops to help feed the family.
Instead of going to school these children are risking their lives working in terrible conditions to barely make a dollar in two weeks if they are lucky. Ian Berry, also known as artist Denimu, uses denim and jeans to create his artwork. Artist creates “Secret Garden” with the Last Denim Made in the USA “It was made out of the last denim that was made in the USa and now no more denim is made..I still can’t believe it!”.
