Shifting Sands of Conflict
Cartoon by Thys Le Roux
This cartoon likely uses the image of sand to symbolize instability and the fleeting nature of peace in regions plagued by conflict. The sand may represent a nation, group, or individual sinking or being buried, emphasizing themes of impermanence and the difficulty of building something lasting in volatile environments. The visual might also highlight how time and conflict erode stability, mirroring the way sand shifts and is shaped by external forces. The cartoon serves as a metaphor for the fragile nature of peace, security, or progress in conflict zones, urging attention to these unstable situations.
