About this artwork

A single, exaggerated cigarette rests against a solid white background. Its filter is a familiar orange, and a camouflage pattern wraps its main body. The piece stands as a visual metaphor, linking the soldier's intended purpose with the inherent danger of a cigarette. The title, a nod to iconic military imagery, underscores the parallel: a soldier is "born to kill" on the battlefield, just as a cigarette, once lit, does the same to the smoker.
