A series of intimate drawings and paintings depicting soldiers in states of formal meditation. Soldiers, as agents of class, economic and cultural warfare, are surrendered by the artist into higher consciousness, changing their marching orders from war to peace. With eyes closed to journey inward, they non-violently resist going into battle for others and at once cease fighting. As the mission of meditation is purely creative—not destructive, the AnonOMus soldiers embody the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Here not as political or national agents but as spiritual beings, they change the concept of “power” from destructive force to creative, awakened well-being. The soldier becomes a transcendent prophetic message carrier of peace and love.
