I fell down a wormhole researching the civilian cost of war (like ya do) and realized that as war became more "precise" with technology, that the civilian casualties exponentially increased. Now, part of this is surely that we are a more populous planet everyday (in general) than the year before. But the realization that civilians are a higher percentage of the deaths during war made me furious. And sad. And I was left feeling helpless.
That old adage that a picture is worth 1,000 words is hopefully true. I started off with the intention of making each flower in this piece represent 10,000 civilian deaths in World War II. As I designed the piece, I realized that I would be between 4900-5400 flowers short.
Let me say that again for the people in the back. Four thousand nine hundred flowers short if I use the conservative estimate.
50,000,000 - 55,000,000 civilians died during World War II.
