Red
“Red" is a collection of three animated paintings that delve into the visceral horror and haunting nightmares of war. Each artwork features a monumental woman, depicted in quasi-mythological stances, confronting a diminutive warplane. The rapid flashes of red, black, gray, and white evoke the disorienting urgency of emergency sirens, capturing the chaotic and oppressive atmosphere.
Through these visuals, "Red" explores the profound impact of war on the human spirit, blending myth and reality to evoke a deep emotional response. This collection challenges viewers to confront the chaos and trauma of war, presenting a striking commentary on its enduring effects.
