A powerfully rendered chalk pastel depicting a Muslim fighter in a state of drug-induced intensity, rendered with Howson's characteristically raw and unflinching figural style. The medium's dusty, abrasive texture amplifies the visceral energy of the subject, with bold strokes conveying both physical tension and psychological unraveling. True to Howson's tradition of documenting human conflict and moral complexity, the work confronts the viewer with the brutal realities of war and addiction.
