WHY?

War sweeps away people and possessions, it poisons the heart of the men.

Environment and its bucolic, pacific and idyllic background, is abruptly obscured by the violence of the armies, destruction and terror, upsetting the sensibility of human beings, and slowly grinds human awareness like a gigantic and monstrous snake.

A huge reptile with skin similar to the military uniform, a skin over which flows blood of the victims and then coagulates in a big crimson drop: the drop together with the snake become a dreadful question mark…

Why?
