Artist's Comments

Backstory: I got inspiration for this piece from a song on Strata's new album "Strata Presents The End of The World" (in stores July 17th yay!)

The photograph was taken by my boyfriend. He's in Iraq right now (US Army).

The song is called "Stay Young" hence the piece title.
I don't know what exactly Strata was writing about when they composed this song but for me personally the song is 100% for the men and women in our military. An excerpt from the song that really inspired this was:

... for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews, yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes but can work up the nerve to be critics. Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss or the future you hoped for when we were still kids? Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart. Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control. It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues, stay young, stay young!...

If you're curious about the song, or any other Strata songs just go to their website: [link]
