Fragmented Lives

This drawing captures the haunting reality of war through the image of a lifeless body broken and abandoned within a chaotic web of jagged, intersecting lines. The skeletal figure, stripped of its identity, is a universal symbol of the countless nameless casualties of conflict. The wild black strokes and stark monochromatic palette evoke the chaos and brutality of war, where order and humanity dissolve into violence and despair. The fragile posture of the figure contrasts sharply with the relentless destruction surrounding it, embodying the vulnerability of those caught in the crossfire. This evocative piece challenges viewers to confront the human cost of war and reflect on the sorrow it leaves in its wake.
