Description
As a combat veteran turned artist, my work is often a reflection of my experiences on the battlefield. "I Can't Forget" is a testament to the trauma that is often associated with war, and its perpetual impact on children, who are often unwittingly caught in the crossfire.
The image of a small girl holding a camera amidst a barrage of missiles is a powerful commentary on the ubiquitous nature of war. The camera is symbolic of our need to document, to bear witness to the atrocities of war, while the missiles represent the ongoing violence that plagues our world.
Through the use of black, white, and red hues, I aim to convey a raw and unyielding emotion; one that evokes a sense of urgency and defiance. The graffiti style portrait is my way of subverting the status quo, of using my art to challenge the dominant narrative.
Ultimately, "I Can't Forget" is a call to action; a rallying cry for peace and justice. It serves as a reminder of the insidious nature of war, of its lasting impact, and of our collective responsibility to create a world free from violence.
