Metamorphosis of a Soldier

War is ruthless and hardens the human soul. A hardened soldier (foreground) thinks of the beauties of the world, and the innocence that lies within (background). He sees himself walking with his children in a place without war, fear, or suffering: a place of peace and harmony. While envisioning this, he drops his war equipment, and his hardened body becomes more human: the "Metamorphosis of a Soldier."
