Casualties of War by Dorothy

Dorothy created a series of post-war toy soldiers inspired by real-life scenarios. Many front-line soldiers returning home find it difficult to settle themselves into daily life, suffering depression and often resulting to violence.

Those little brave soldiers turned into an amputee in a wheelchair, a beggar on the street, the bully in a situation depicting domestic violence. Perhaps most shocking of all, one of the models shows a soldier sitting on an armchair about to shoot himself. Harsh but real stories told by tiny little green men familiar to everyone.
