Tears of the Fallen

The drawing “Tears of the Fallen” depicts a face with closed eyes, silently weeping in profound sorrow. A single tear runs down the cheek against a backdrop of dark, textured shadows, symbolizing grief too deep for words—a mourning transcending time and place. The closed eyes indicate the pain of having witnessed too much, yet the tear remains, a fragile but steadfast reminder of love, loss, and the scars left by war. In its quiet simplicity, the image calls for remembrance and compels us to confront the humanity we risk losing to violence. It urges us to honor those who have fallen by striving for peace.
