Lord of the Flies is another painting from Kings and Queens series that Elena Nahum Leroy created in 2022.

This painting represents the war that Putin started on February 24, 2022. Putin’s eyes are hidden with the pig mask, showing that he has no soul. Pig’s head idea is borrowed from Golding’s Lord of the Flies novel and represent innocent deaths caused by savage concepts of sacrifice to imaginary Lord of the Flies that stands for unreasonable fears.
