10x7" Mixed Media on Paper
Framed 15x12x1" Black
A surreal mixed-media portrait of a stern, mustached soldier standing rigidly with a rifle sprouting into a delicate, blossoming tree above his head. Small birds perch quietly among the branches while a row of teddy bears rests against his uniform, softening his imposing presence. The juxtaposition of military authority with symbols of innocence and renewal creates a poignant commentary on conflict, vulnerability, and hope.
