Tension and inner conflict suggest a struggle against an unseen judgment, evoking the tragic fate of Shakespeare’s Othello—paralleled here by the artist’s reflection on the tragic fate of war. Othello was led astray by false assumptions, just as the realities of war are often misinterpreted or distorted. This exploration of perception and truth raises a deeper question—does the portrayal of war expose its reality, or does it reinforce misjudgment? The weight of conflict lingers in the female figure’s form, challenging us to reconsider the narratives imposed on those who endure its toll.
