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.

i love the colors in this piece. i can see the pain and feel the beauty. wonderful work
