Nice texture and sense of space. I'm reminded of a sculpture I made called "War Head" with the intention of making a statement of the futility of war. A youth came up to me while I was working on it and they said that it was great, "Because it has guns on it"
Humanity will forever be flawed until we, the collective 'we,' can get BEYOND WAR and all its supposed 'justifications,' Mahesh. Great concept piece. The lighting is very effective.
There is a certain mystery here that compels the viewer to look twice. I like subjects which tackle large social issues. They are somewhat rare on this site, although perhaps its just a sampling error. The stonework and wood create contrasting feels. The door seems to beckon "Beyond War," a constant, retreating dream.
