My aim was to create an image that is open for different interpretations.
I grew up in West Flanders at 40km from Flanders Fields, so I wanted to do something with this landscape.

With a special thanks to my father who suggested to refer to this image.
The cubistic style is inspired by 'Richard Nevinson', one of my favorite artists of World War I.
