About the work

Vicious Circle describes a perpetual cycle of conflict, one act of violence followed by an act of retaliation, ad infinitum.

Optimism, reflection, apprehension and anguish all come and go, yet the cycle remains unbroken. Inevitably, history repeats itself and the lessons remain unlearned.
