Burdened Courage


In this stark, monochromatic drawing, the face of a lone soldier emerges from the darkness, his worn features and downcast gaze conveying a powerful message of silent endurance. Each etched line captures the weight of unseen battles and the fatigue of lingering memories. At the same time, his rough, scarred helmet mirrors the rugged contours of his face—a testament to resilience forged through hardship. Isolated in the void, he stands as a solemn tribute to the burdened courage that often goes unnoticed, embodying the quiet strength of those who carry the weight of war without words or glory.

Flashbacks


This striking image shows a war veteran submerged in darkness, gripping his head in visible torment as he struggles with the relentless flashbacks of combat. His vulnerable body sinks into the dark pool, symbolizing the weight of trauma that engulfs him. The stark contrast between the light above and the consuming blackness below illustrates the internal war he cannot escape. Ripples in the water suggest how even the slightest trigger unleashes waves of painful memories, leaving him trapped in an endless psychological battle. Studies show that 11-20% of veterans from modern conflicts have PTSD, with flashbacks being a critical symptom that disrupts their daily lives, making them four times more likely to experience such vivid recollections compared to the general population (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2021).
