Loss of Hope, Azma Elham, 2025, oil, 40 x 30 in. / 101.6 x 76.2 cm.

My painting shows a city destroyed by war and bombs, using black and white to reflect the change from peace to chaos. The stark contrast of these colors represents how life can quickly go from calm and peaceful to violent and broken. The black and white symbolize the loss of hope.
