This series of 19 drawings reveal the effects of war on the surrounding civilian population, livestock, life and property. The fragility of the paper and the simplicity of the pencil as the most basic drawing tool are chosen to stress the throw away nature of both the drawing and the lives portrayed in the sinister/comic scenes.
