This image expresses the physical and emotional toll of the war on the civilian population. The emptiness of the table suggests a shortage of food, while the inscription implies a longing for the return of family members. Shining through the window, the outline of an ikurriña casts a cross at the center of the image. In fact, the white St. George's cross on the ikurriña was meant to evoke the strong religious sensibilities of the Basque nationalist movement.
