Regarding the pain of others

In this project, inspired by Susan Sontag’s exploration of war photography, I use oil paint to transform and visually process events from the wars after 2022. Utilizing historical colors such as Prussian blue and Carmine red, the paintings capture the conflict’s essence. Adding yellow intends to give some hope.
Analytical overpainting abstracts the event and offers insight into how non-involved individuals perceive war situations. Unpainted areas signify untouched by war parts, while infographics mark event locations, creating an archive of traumatic experiences.
