This work is built around the symbolic use of color to explore the human and environmental consequences of war. The red forms represent burning trees. Their color is shared with the ground, emphasizing that war does not only destroy people—it also consumes the natural world that surrounds and sustains us. Nature and humanity suffer together. The skin of the figures echoes the color of the ruined walls. This visual connection reflects the idea that war destroys homes and cities just as it destroys human lives. The collapse of habitation becomes inseparable from the suffering of those who once lived within it. A blue line links the figures and mirrors the color of the sky. It symbolizes freedom—the universal aspiration that drives people to flee conflict in search of safety, dignity, and hope. It is both a physical connection between the characters and a metaphor for the future they seek. The figures themselves are intentionally almost invisible. Through this choice, I wanted to evoke the way civilians are often forgotten during war. Their stories, losses, and struggles frequently remain unseen despite bearing the greatest burden of conflict. The green clothing represents hope. Amid devastation, hope is the final element that preserves their humanity and gives them the strength to continue moving forward. The abandoned comforter symbolizes innocence left behind. As the little girl reaches for it, she struggles to maintain her connection with her mother, yet that bond begins to fracture. At the heart of the work lies a question: should the mother continue pushing the wheelbarrow to protect the baby, or stop for the child who wishes to reclaim a piece of the innocence war has taken from her? This tension reflects the impossible choices imposed by war—choices that force ordinary people to weigh survival against love, and necessity against loss.
