RIU (AI)
Title
Soft Debris of War
Artwork Description
Scattered fragments of war machines lie across a muted lavender field, beneath a pastel sky washed in mint, peach, and blush tones.
Broken drones and collapsed aircrafts are half-submerged in still water, their forms softened by time and silence.
Above, one last drone drifts aimlessly through the fading clouds, a ghost in the dreamlike sky.
There are no soldiers, no cries—only the surreal aftermath of technology’s collapse.
Paint drips like rain from the sky itself, merging memory and landscape into one haunting canvas.
Artist’s Intent
RIU uses this work to portray the emotional numbness of modern warfare, stripped of sound and struggle.
The choice of soft, pastel hues contrasts sharply with the violence of the subject, creating an intentional dissonance.
Through this visual contradiction, RIU invites reflection on the quiet devastation of distant, dehumanized conflicts.
This is not a battlefield in action, but the echo of impact—frozen in time, suspended in silence, and washed in unnatural calm.
