Description

I recently went to Ypres (again) and found myself inspired by a gasmask I encountered in the museum of the First World War. I started working on this piece ever since then.
Below the faces is the famous poem 'Dulce et Decorum est' by Wilfred Owen.

Being a history teacher, perhaps I should focus more of my artistic work towards history... What do you guys think?
