"The Wounded Guardian" | Once

"The Wounded Guardian" is a powerful and emotional piece of photo art that shows a medieval knight in full chain armor. With a bloody face that testifies to the latest battle, the knight holds a broadship whose blade is stained. His gaze is tired and yet determined and embodied the victims who were provided in the name of duty and honor.

The strong contrast between the character of the knight drawn by the struggle and the essential shine of the colored glass windows in the background creates a narrative of conflict and holiness. It indicates a refuge where reminds of old battles and bravery is immortalized.

The details of the armor and the living, almost surreal colors of the background invite the viewer to think about the stories and legends that have shaped our understanding of heroism over the centuries.
