Original artwork description:
Sometimes a painting can say more than a thousand words.
I painted this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes.
I didn’t understand the horror of war until a few years ago; I went on a trip to Kanchanaburi to see the 'Bridge over the River Kwai' and 'hellfire pass’. It’s called Hellfire Pass because the sight of emaciated prisoners labouring at night by firelight was said to resemble a scene from hell.
Until then, I didn't understand the horrors of war, I do now, and it left me with a feeling I will never forget. It is the most haunting place I have ever been to; you almost feel the pain of the men and women who died there. I feel that pain now watching the news from Ukraine.
