The Living Past

November 10, 2008

This is an illustration for a story called the Living Past, which is about a young girl’s plight to survive the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. I made roses with soldiers and bayonets as it’s thorns to show a painful past that is behind a now beautiful present day.
