Back to Square One is a self-portrait of Peter Land, a multi-disciplinary artist from Denmark, as homeless person. The title of the work refers to the board games that send you back to the first square and the cardboard boxes are the spaces of the game. The shape signifies that even bending over backwards gets you nowhere.

That is pretty powerful. I imagine it takes something special to break out of this circle.
It does. The system does not help.
That is for sure.
So awful. Here in Chicago, winters can be horrendous and the homeless suffer so much. Shelters are often too religious, dangerous (especially for women) and disease is also an issue. So many don’t go.
It is such a shame that so much of the help is worse than than the problem.
