Description

Still in clay, “A Vessel In Want Of Peace” is of a similar size and in frontal view as “A Vessel Of Calls For Battle”. But its embodiment of pain and suffering sets them apart. The flesh is scarred, and innumerous nails have been shot into what is left of the skull. The mouth is open and distorted in a scream. But it is soundless.  The result of “A Vessel Of Calls For Battle” is not limited only to victims of war. It may be waiting in the wings also for those who have called for the battle.
