Original artwork description:

"Mind Scar" is a poignant mixed-media sculpture that delves into the profound and enduring impacts of war on the human psyche. At its core, this piece features the head of a beautiful girl bearing visible scars, symbolizing the physical wounds inflicted by conflict. These scars, though healing, signify that in time, the physical traces of war may fade. However, nestled within the sculpture are numerous bloody soldiers, representing the internal and indelible scars of the soul and mind that time cannot erase. This duality illustrates the haunting reality that while the body can heal, the psychological devastation wrought by war leaves permanent marks. "Mind Scar" is a tribute to the resilience of those affected by conflict, reminding us that true healing transcends the visible, touching the deepest parts of our being.
