“Shadows of Conflict” depicts two overlapping hands that are identical yet fragmented, symbolizing the duality of human nature in the context of war. The hands reach out but remain restrained, blurring the lines of individuality and illustrating how conflict can erase personal identity, reducing lives to mere shadows. Their jagged texture suggests both physical and emotional scars, while the stark monochrome palette universalizes the experience of suffering, stripping away context to reveal humanity’s inner struggles. The simplicity of the drawing confronts viewers with the tension between destruction and redemption, prompting reflection on the idea that the same hands capable of violence are also capable of healing.
