Wars.

Although there is no exact figure for the number of active wars that are occurring simultaneously on earth right now, the artist's research has managed to record thirty-five active armed conflicts. Since the beginning of each of them, these conflicts have caused the death of more than twelve million people.

Forty-three countries are involved in these thirty-five contrasting armed conflicts. Twenty-two percent of the world's countries are at war.
