When war broke out in the world once again, I couldn't just look away. Because the least I could do when others were suffering was to witness the cruelty. That was also the birth of my project to draw attention to people's suffering and to raise awareness of the fact that conflicts and wars have existed since the dawn of humanity and that every war is also linked to protest movements for peace. But violence does not stop, even if so many people endeavour to do so.

a confrontation with the human experience of war

Two computer monitors in a dark room. The left screen shows a framed photo collage with various images, including people and pets. The right screen displays white text on a black background that reads, 'I got drafted two days after I finished college.'

To portray these two worlds, I created a short film that shows the peaceful world of the outsider and the cruel reality of the people living in conflict. I chose the Vietnam War because it was long enough ago for a unified public opinion to have formed. It was also the first war to be reported on so extensively in the media. Vietnam is therefore also a mirror image of today's wars, which are documented and disseminated - this time via social media.
