EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print titled "Her Cross" captures the heart-wrenching grief of a young widow mourning her soldier husband who never returned from war. The year is 1916, in the midst of World War I, and all she has left to remember him by are his medal, cap, and sword.
The widow's somber expression speaks volumes about the pain and loss she is experiencing. Her eyes are filled with tears as she clutches onto these precious mementos that once belonged to her beloved husband. The emptiness in her gaze reflects the void left in her life after his tragic death on the battlefield.
As we look at this powerful image, we can't help but feel a sense of empathy for this woman who has been left behind to mourn alone. The details captured in this photograph - from the delicate features of her face to the worn edges of his belongings - serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war.
In a world torn apart by conflict, "Her Cross" serves as a timeless tribute to all those who have lost loved ones in service to their country. It reminds us of the enduring impact that war has on families and communities, leaving behind widows like this young woman whose hearts will forever be broken by loss.
