Para Bellum
Para Bellum
This photograph captures the essence of human conflict, both external and internal. In a cold lighting, the image features a tattooed man, his extinguished eyes reflecting a deep coldness. He holds in his hands a dove, a universal symbol of peace, now lifeless and bloodied.
Shadow and light clash on the man's face, serving as a metaphor for the eternal battle between darkness and brightness that resides in each of us. The dead dove acts as a mirror to his soul, a visual representation of the cost of peace and the complexity of human emotions.
