by Anna Randal

We probably all know Gunduz Agayev by now. We’ve featured his work several times, as it is something that combines imagination and commentary. In his illustrations, Agayev discusses things like politics, laws and cultural customs. This time he comments on war and how he affects our civilization.

Humans are responsible for this world’s destruction and decay, the same way they are responsible for its progress and evolution. This series is a protest against war and a cry for peace, as even though men invented fighting, they also invented peace.
