I decided to take WAR as a subject for this exercise. I
wanted to take a close look on this issue .
I managed to do a research about the vintage war posters
that involved women and the way how they were treating the subject. Many times
they were the pillars of the war. They had to support their husbands, partners
and sons by producing things like food, clothing or ammunition. I think that
was very difficult time for them. It must to be hard to keep the balance
between the war real live. I also think that they did not have any choice like standing
beside their men .
There was also a period where they wanted to help by joining
to the army.

The issue that I wanted to touch in this project is not
related to me personally; however this is a message I would like to send to all
husbands fighting the war at the moment somewhere with someone. I am totally against
the wars especially when they are focus on fighting for someone money and
power. Pure solders and people that serve in the army they are only players in
this massive game. I cannot stand the news about another soldier who died in
the war and became a number that filled the coffin. That is why I was trying to
give my respect to all woman who have the other half fighting in the army. This
is the reason why I would like to say it at loud : Stop the war! Come home!
