I invite you to join the Let's Make a Collage Art Community by contributing to the collage art and some delegation would be nice! If you want to participate you can check the rules Round 59. I accept the submission to the @shaka contest.
The first thing I thought when I saw @shaka's photograph was that the warrior was tired and wanted to go home.
Then, I thought that he did not have a face of the warrior. He is old, he is young? We don't know.
That's why I looked for the profile of an exhausted man. The warrior already had a face. The statue and the face are linked by a bridge of colors that are his thoughts.
But the man who goes to war leaves dead, graves, and desolation (many times) in unknown territories.
The warrior also thinks of the children who are mutilated and yet do not lose their smile and play with the sea turtles.
Similarly, the warrior thinks of the children who wish to study but have been left without schools.
Thinking about all of this and going into a world that I do not know (the world of war) I remembered that there are children who prepare them for the army. I was surprised to find a statue in Peru of the boy Manuel Bonilla (13 years old) who died, as the legend says "…after heroic attempts to defend the military lines he had joined of his own free will".
The warrior cries and the moon accompanies him in his pain.
This man leaves behind him waves of sadness rather than joy. But he has done his duty and wants to return home to meet his waiting family. It is just, too!
Well, this is the story of my collage. I have not forgotten the dove but I prefer that you do the reading yourselves as to why I placed it there.
I hope you like it!
