Standing before the deeply moving sculpture "Hallowed Be Your Name" (1985) by the renowned Armenian artist Ghukas Chubaryan, located in Yerevan, Armenia.
The artist created this contemplative bronze figure in memory of his 21-year-old brother, Luseghen, who went missing and was killed in action in 1942 during fierce WWII combat near Saint Petersburg.
The gaunt, elongated silhouette represents the timeless themes of love, faith, and the somber sacrifice of youth in wartime.
This post-processing edit employs a selective color-splash technique, turning the background park canopy into monochrome while keeping the vibrant green grass intact behind the pedestal to isolate the raw, solemn texture of the weathered bronze cast.
