An artist surveys a landscape and paints it.

Civilians are summarily executed.

A fledgling pianist gives a recital to family and friends.

Hositals are shelled killing sick people.

The writer sits with pen in hand and thinks.

People's homes are bombed to rubble.

A composer puts the final touches to a symphony.

An artillery barrage fires indiscriminately on a residential area.

Children sit in their classrooms to learn another language.

A missile screams through the night to God knows where.

A family pray for protection.

Gas cannisters explode amongst peaceful demonstrators.

A small group of people walk through piles of rubble

and decomposing corpses.

They are on their way to church.
