Rivers of Blood.
Rivers of Blood.
Some rivers are formed by rain. Others are made by people.
Throughout history, blood has been spilled in the name of justice, faith, freedom, security, revenge, and peace. The reasons change. The river remains.
The work shows no soldiers, no flags, no borders, and no enemy. Only a red river — the consequence.
Rivers of Blood.
Follow the money.
Cui bono?
The words offer no answer. Instead, they invite the viewer to look beyond declared reasons and ask an ancient question: who benefits?
The work is not about one war. It is about a recurring pattern in human history — the distance between those who pay the price of conflict and those who may profit from it.
