Anonymous people are drawn in the war paintings. The movements of their mind that had been with them in the moment of death also disappeared. If I can reproduce the body replaced with paint, in a tangible form, will we be able to get closer to them? I poured gelling into the human mold. I clothed the flesh-hardened limbs with fake military uniform. The camera records the body getting slightly smaller every minute. All I can do is look at the monitor as it is converted into pixels of light one after another.
