The Beautiful War (Series)
DESCRIPTION
I opened my scar and I jumped into it pursuing to explore old fears and feelings that are still ghosts to me. Where the other see destruction and abandon I see myself, blending into forgotten and crumbling places that are so familiar to me. They are the metaphor of my oldest wound: the abandon. My fears made me a warrior. I declared war on myself, to discover that I was the only ghost I was fighting.
