Assault

The drawing depicts a symbolic confrontation between a soldier and an ethereal spirit, emphasizing the futility and self-destructive nature of war. The spirit mirrors the soldier, representing violence and conflict. The soldier’s left hand is clenched in a fist, his only weapon, while his right hand is severed, leaving him vulnerable and defenseless. This emphasizes that every blow aimed at the spirit harms the soldier himself. The soldier’s expression conveys anger, pain, and the realization of his predicament. His once aggressive stance wavers as the spirit, whispering in his ear, goads him toward unending warfare. With each strike, the soldier inflicts further injury upon himself, symbolizing humanity’s recurring failure to learn from the devastation of war. The drawing immerses the viewer in the timeless lesson that, despite the scars of history, humanity continues to repeat the cycle of war.
