“WAR KILLS” is cut cleanly from a decorative field, its violence masked by ornamental calm. It insists that killing is not accidental or peripheral to war, but central to it, the predictable and defining outcome. Layered patterns refuse spectacle, insisting instead on banality: war not as a singular event, but as an ongoing condition. By reducing imagery to text, the work underscores that death is not incidental but inherent.

Soft florals and bright motifs frame the phrase like wallpaper, suggesting how the fact of killing is normalized and absorbed into culture until it recedes into background noise.
