Hector is shown lunging forward holding a baby’s feeding bottle in one hand and a injured Bunny in his other.

The baby bottle represents the everyday intake of propaganda and agenda by news sources and government that leads to repeated wars and victims.
The Bunny represents a wounded child as a victim of all of this. Both the bottle and Bunny together show us history repeating itself again and again.
Within Hectors we see images of conflict and war.
For example. There is a tiny bombed city on his back placed inside the doors if a space shuttle. There is a aeroplane with soldiers fighting which is in a nose dive and about to crash.
From the front hector ls face looks almost Evil. The result of having to deal with the burden of all he has witnessed in Life and War.
From the back you see the innocent face of Hector revealing what he was like as a young boy before he went to war.

Hector is himself another innocent victim and Pawn of War.
