Parents always dream of a great and happy future for their child, but sometimes it turns out that a little angel grows … a big and evil demon, which one half of humanity hates, and the other wants to get rid of the tyrant and tormentor once and for all. Even Adolf Hitler could become an artist and paint pictures of city views, but a talented dictator grew from a talented artist. Photo project " Possibility"(Potency) by Danish artist Nina Maria Kleivan just shows great evil in little people. Looking at a little pink angel in lacy diapers, parents smile and touch, touch the tiny fingers of their baby and dream of how he will learn to walk, and then run, as he says the first word, go to school, then learn and become a young promising specialist … But suddenly someday something goes wrong and the cute baby grows into a cruel adult?
Pinochet and Mao Zedong, Hitler and Mussolini, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic - Nina Maria Kleivan tried on the costumes of these dictators for her one-year-old daughter Faustin (Faustina) to show that evil is in ourselves. There is a little evil in little people, but the older a person gets, the more a wormhole grows in him. “And who knows, maybe in many years my Faustina will be the new Iron Lady, and will bring the whole of Denmark to her knees,” the artist argues.
The shocking project caused a loud resonance both in the press and among the visitors of the exhibition, but Nina-Maria is not discouraged. The main thing is to warn and remind people that it is in our power to restrain the evil living in us for the benefit of ourselves and those close to us. More information about the artist's works can be found on her personal website.

Do you remember? Dear Photograf is a fascinating photo project that will help you compare the past and the present
As you know, photographs give us the opportunity not only to forever document this or that event, the moment that we want to last forever. But it can also take us back many years. When grandmothers were students, grandfathers wore luxurious hair and fashionable shoes, and mothers and fathers wore diapers and gnawed on rattles. People are changing, they have a short age. But the streets and lanes, playgrounds and shops, and even the facades of houses and the furnishings of rooms remain practically unchanged
