This powerful illustration depicts a war victim overwhelmed by grief. Their contorted body and twisted posture are a striking metaphor for internal destruction. The figure’s dark silhouette, bent and defensive, conveys profound emotional and psychological pain as if the trauma is erasing their sense of self. This image highlights the isolating and identity-shattering effects of war, where grief becomes a relentless force, gnawing at the person’s core.
Additionally, stark statistics emphasize the grim reality of this trauma: veterans with PTSD are 58% more likely to attempt suicide, and an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives daily in the U.S. This underscores the ongoing mental health crisis faced by war survivors.
