This photograph is a deeply impactful representation of a contemporary geopolitical conflict with global relevance—the war between Ukraine and Russia. Through an intricate and symbolically rich composition, I explore the multiple layers and implications of this conflict, which transcends the borders of the countries involved. The image is a carefully crafted composition, utilizing elements such as wheat, cotton, copper, a Russian tank, and a gas cylinder. These elements are enriched with gold leaf and an abundance of black paint, symbolizing oil. The work not only portrays a regional conflict but also highlights its far-reaching global impact.

It is important to note that this work is a limited edition, with only 22 copies. This limitation reflects              the date of the conflict's beginning in 2022, with no                    clear resolution in sight. The prominent message "Stop the              War" on the frame is more than just a statement; it is a                  plea to humanity for support and concrete action.

"Commodities War" is not just a piece of art, but a call for reflection and global solidarity in the face of conflicts that affect our shared humanity. This work urges us not only to appreciate its beauty and complexity but also to consider the profound implications of contemporary wars and the urgent need to work together to achieve peace.
