Through My Eyes
Oil on canvas
91 x 91cm
Through my eyes depicts an image 100 year old veteran of WW2 Allan Godfrey.
Comradeship, courage, patriotism, fear, trauma, pride and the futility that surrounds war, are the feelings and memories etched into his face.
His first-hand knowledge of events that unfolded at the time and his reaction to them will die with him and it won’t be long till these memories will only be recalled through the eyes of history.
Behind Godfrey stand our Aussie soldiers, past and present; those who survived and those who didn’t. They form a united bond all looking toward the blazing sky which could be symbolic of a war zone or the rising sun, Spirit of ANZAC.
