Prisoner of War, Acrylic on Canvas 150 x 150 cm, Dereje Shiferaw, Ethiopia

This artwork reflects the deep psychological and social scars of conflict. The central figure, dropped in an orange uniform, symbolizes vulnerability and resilience amidst chaos. The scattered, chaotic background, with scribbled words and symbols, mirrors the fragmented realities of war-torn societies. This piece serves as a commentary on the resilience of those who endure it.
