No War 

Agim Sulaj created this image, "No War", using a mixed media technique that gives the piece a stark, illustrative quality. A solitary soldier marches away from us into a monochrome yellow field overshadowed by a dark void. The soldier, weighed down by equipment, becomes a poignant figure, a signifier of the human cost of conflict. The composition is structured around the contrast between the warm, oppressive yellow and the ominous black opening above. This rupture in the sky, almost like a tear in the fabric of reality, suggests a destabilization of meaning—the world is no longer whole. The soldier's retreat into this landscape challenges traditional war narratives, focusing instead on the individual's journey away from destruction. Sulaj's choice to obscure the soldier's destination emphasizes the uncertainty and alienation inherent in the experience of war, questioning established values of heroism and valor. By using these formal devices, the artwork becomes an ongoing dialogue about the psychological and existential impact of conflict.
