War Mess

Felt tip pen Drawing. A response to the international ongoing conflicts of which there are some 125 ongoing ones. Many of them don't make headlines, despite the horrendous suffering they cause.

Image Description for Accessibility

A felt-tip pen drawing in black and white, titled "War Mess" featuring a chaotic jumble of faces and figures. In the foreground, a large hand appears to be squeezing a smaller figure's head, from which smaller faces emerge. Other distorted faces are scattered throughout the composition, some screaming or looking distressed. Intricate, organic patterns fill the left side of the drawing, adding to the surreal and unsettling atmosphere.
