Imagine: If Children Had The Childhood They Deserved
Having created popular series of illustrations like “Holy Selfie,” “World Leader“, “Global Police” and “Just Leaders,” painter Gunduz Aghayev is back with a new work called “Imagine.”
This time, the illustrations are about children. The painter condemns those who want to make children part of their dirty play. Children are innocent and we have to give our all for their future. We have to try not to repeat our previous sins. Let’s make the world as perfect as children, for children.
Gunduz Aghayev altered iconic photos. He drew the little victims of tragedies in a way he would have liked to see them.

Bad call Bored Panda. If I was involved in any of these awful situations I wouldn't appreciate my experience being reimagined with a rosy sentiment such as this. They are powerful images that should be left as they are, as a reminder ( and a wake up call) of the horrific cost of war and the inequity that exists. I understand the artists intentions, but ultimately I don't really think it's helpful or insightful, just wishful thinking ....

Does it not make you grateful for the life you have lead?

I'm shocked... How can you trivialise such iconic images of suffering? This is disgusting.

Better try to understand why the new images are so powerful. They show you how the reality could have been, if... These peaces of art are amazing!

F**k this propaganda. American soldiers dressed as superheroes? Did you forget what the Viet Nam war was about?

Yeah! This is American propaganda. The USA soldiers, generals and everything US military in the Vietnam war were f*****g animals. I think even animals behaved better then them. The USA were a bunch of bullies who disliked Vietnam just because it wanted to turn socialist.

Horrific. I can't even process the disrespect of so much tragedy. I can't imagine what was going though this 'artist's' head when they thought that doing this was a good idea. Shame on you, Bored Panda, for giving this a platform.

Why do I see hatred in comments? Please understand the Artist is trying to make a point that what this children got in reality vs what should it be like.

Because these images show the worst life has to offer. Death to children.

This artist (and boredpanda evidently) has no idea how offensive these rehashed images are. Hideous concept, hideous execution.
