Let's Make a Collage (Round 59) – Thoughts of a warrior who wants to return home
I invite you to join the Let's Make a Collage Art Community by contributing to the collage art and some delegation would be nice! If you want to participate you can check the rules Round 59. I accept the submission to the @shaka contest.
The first thing I thought when I saw @shaka's photograph was that the warrior was tired and wanted to go home.
Then, I thought that he did not have a face of the warrior. He is old, he is young? We don't know.
That's why I looked for the profile of an exhausted man. The warrior already had a face. The statue and the face are linked by a bridge of colors that are his thoughts.
But the man who goes to war leaves dead, graves, and desolation (many times) in unknown territories.
The warrior also thinks of the children who are mutilated and yet do not lose their smile and play with the sea turtles.
Similarly, the warrior thinks of the children who wish to study but have been left without schools.
Thinking about all of this and going into a world that I do not know (the world of war) I remembered that there are children who prepare them for the army. I was surprised to find a statue in Peru of the boy Manuel Bonilla (13 years old) who died, as the legend says "…after heroic attempts to defend the military lines he had joined of his own free will".
The warrior cries and the moon accompanies him in his pain.
This man leaves behind him waves of sadness rather than joy. But he has done his duty and wants to return home to meet his waiting family. It is just, too!
Well, this is the story of my collage. I have not forgotten the dove but I prefer that you do the reading yourselves as to why I placed it there.
I hope you like it!

Thank you very much for this great support @jasonmunapasee and @dsc-r2cornell. It's very important to me!
The Bridge of Colors: what a wonderful concept, and how eloquently expressed in your collage. The image of the child warrior is touching, almost upsetting. Another great entry.
Good luck!
Dear @agmoore. The warrior boy called "hero boy" is terrifying (that's why I placed him on top of the coffin).
I like the colored bridge too. Thank you for appreciating it!
Note: I have been very busy but I saw your publication and thought "we are moved by similar ideas".
I will soon make my comment
A fascinating aspect of LMAC is what it reveals about perspective and experience. Each of us unique, and yet similarities emerge.

I looked for the pigeon there and saw it on the shield. And that's a pretty unique and creative collage :))
I placed the dove on the shield facing the opposite side of the man-statue. Looking at the mutilated boy playing with the turtle.
Thank you for your appreciation @razeiv. Your appreciation is important to me!
Vi tu collage y lo reconocí de inmediato. Entonces pensé que ese es otro nivel. Has desarrollado un estilo. Este, como el anterior, y el enterior, y el anterior... me gustó muchísimo. Me gusta las resonancias simbólicas que tiene. Está muy bueno.
Gracias Adriana @adncabrera. Guao es el mensaje más bello que he leído hoy. Estoy desarrollándome en un estilo!! Muchas, muchas gracias por mirar y leer mis imágenes.
Gran saludo!
Hello, interesting, your collage hides behind a historical fact such as the face of a soldier that brings back memories that have suddenly caused him a lot of trauma in all the things they faced. Success in the contest
Thank you for your comment and I apologize for the delay in my response.
I'm always grateful to read what people see of my work.
The warrior also has a soul and thoughts!
