2024, acrylic on poliuretan, 250 × 150 cm

This artistic piece, depicting soldiers on black polyethylene, delves into complex themes of blind obedience and youth devoid of doubts. They smile, but their eyes are lost in shadows, symbolizing blindness and uncertainty in their actions. The image raises questions about the righteousness and morality of their deeds, war, and killing. The artist highlights that young people participating in war follow orders without understanding the consequences of their actions. Their smiles and lack of questions justify their cruelty, drawing attention to the link between youth and blind obedience.

Black polyethylene, a material used for trash bags, underscores the fact that the soldiers, depicted on this surface, are treated as disposable and forgotten, their lives valued at zero by the state.
