It essentially was permission to ignore any morality and to act with no rules; the command for the ultimate breakdown of moral order and the unleashing of evil.The quote from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar refers to the Dogs of War, which is a metaphor for soldiers as agents of conflict without boundaries or concern for the suffering of innocents.This painting was originally inspired by the bombing of Gaza but is meant to present a universal image where destruction and disintegration of values comes before humanity. It also reminds us that humanity and love is above any conflict, regardless of loyalties. Condition: Good Condition, as in images Dimensions: 50 x 100 cm
