Natura Morta Of A War

Juan Carlos (El Salvador)

All wars are senseless and this is no exception.

Wars not only uproot life, but also love, joy and hope.

Where there was love, security, family, happiness, humanity and life, now there is only hate, orphanhood, tragedy, ruins, sadness and loneliness.

Now death haunts the places where there used to be life.

A look into the effects of war through still life as a way to portray this senseless war.
