I often think about Guernica these days because it no longer feels like a historical artefact, but a portrait of the world we still inhabit.

Picasso painted civilians trapped beneath falling bombs, and nearly ninety years later the same scenes unfold across Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon. Families digging through rubble, children pulled from destroyed buildings, entire neighbourhoods erased within minutes.

The technology has changed. The suffering has not.
