Vietnam War Mural

Black Anguish

By Jessica Kim

This mural of Vietnam War describes the brutal fighting and suffering

of the soldiers and innocent citizens of Vietnam.

I chose the black and white pictures to show that the war was a complete blackout

for the people involved in the war,

and that the world surrounding the war seemed to have no hope.

The picture at the top right hand corner is depicting

the Vietnamese children desperately crying for help.

It is a heart breaking scene.

They seem so helpless, needing peace and comfort.

In the middle, I put the memorial picture.

The sign of peace reflects in the yellow flower.

The war is over for the people whose names are engraved in the Virtual Wall.

They may rest in peace.
