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.
