Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (including Conquest)
War:
I can't bring myself to represent war with a cool knight. It's horror. War is a bound child crowned with shrapnel, tied to a wounded horse that is being pulled forward by unseen people

Famine:
Someone who lived thro a famine shared that their head was only occupied with thoughts of food. Famine consumes your mind. All animals were eaten. Neighbors gave their pets away cuz they couldn't do it themselves. People walked around town as if in a dazed dream, slowly

Pestilence:
Based on the notes of a doctor who said the most frightening thing about viral disease was how it didn’t frighten. People didn’t know or didn't care. They lived and spread until it was too late and they became another name on the record. The clothing being made out of shredding plastic is no coincidence; pollution is a form of pestilence too

Death:
Death is the only horseman that doesn’t need to mount their horse; they will reach everyone eventually. Who is the saddle for then?

Conquest:
You’re blinded by what you're meant to represent, clutching blank-slate children to be painted in your colors. The weight of your growing flag suffocates those you’re meant to protect, yet you can’t stand without them. Your horse stays still and only gazes into the past
