“Children of Conflict”

Sandeep Shete

Artist Statement: In this series of four anti-war digital artworks collectively titled "Children of Conflict", I have attempted to explore how human nature manifests itself when young people find themselves in conflict situations. Cruelty, defiance, curiosity, and nonchalance are some of the emotions depicted in these silhouettes.
