The first picture of the series depicts a small African girl who dreams of becoming a nurse.

Tremeau told ETV's daily affairs show "Aktuaalne kaamera" on Thursday: "We were in a closed space where the children could not get out because it was too dangerous for them to get out from that space. This is how I started thinking: so, what do you want to do when you grow up and let's play a game. Let's make this activity a fun activity and I thought: try and find anything around you that would represent what you want to become in the future."

This led the crisis photographer to develop a series involving childrens' dreams in Mali, Congo, the Central African Republic, Iraq and anywhere else Tremeau's job took him. The artist said dreams are a reflection of the environment around.

For example, four of the five boys in Congo represented in the exhibition wanted to be soldiers. A child, who was the lone survivor in a family ravaged by ebola, dreamt of becoming a doctor. A small child, cut off from the rest of the world in a refugee camp in Chad, wanted to become an IT specialist to again be connected to the world.

"Khadijah came with a chalkboard, representing that sign that we all know (the Apple logo - ed.) that she drew on the chalkboard, saying this is a computer because I want to be an IT engineer. Chad is one of the countries where people have the least access to Internet in the world."

The photographer also has a dream: find the same children in ten years to see if their dreams have become reality.

The exhibition is called "One Day I Will" and will be available until November 22 at Juhan Kuusi Dokfoto Center-Gallery.
