Abstract

Inspired by the work of nursing in the history of humanity, and given as a gift for the Nursing Program of the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga (UNAB) in the celebration of its 15th anniversary. The work exhibits a nurse in clothing that evokes the Franco-Canadian volunteers of the First World War, with some phenotypical features of a Latin woman in anachronistic combination with the tower (UNAB), an institutional symbol in the background.

War and armed conflict are present situations since the beginning of humanity. In a war everyone loses and the only triumph is represented by the lives that are saved. Nurses in the world have been decisive for the defeat of the life-devouring colossus that feeds on the eternal greed and hegemonic promoter of the political violence of the peoples.
