Why Toy Soldier? Sometimes life is not a box of chocolates, you do know what you are going to get. For this reason we have judged each other to make sense of things and remove the element of unawareness. In many ways we have become similar objects that aim to be the same color, the same texture, the same size, whilst in other ways we loathe or forget to celebrate our individuality. Toy Soldier's photography and poetry aims to remind that, despite the hard exterior we often sport, we are more than our gender, more than our shell, much more than what the eyes can see. Try it and march to your own incantation.

Samuel Lora, born in Venezuela, is a self-published author, poet, fiction writer and photographer. His inspirations revolve around self-awareness, laws of creation and attraction, equality, love, gender roles and inner beauty. With three English books under his belt, he moved into self-publishing with his first Spanish book in 2009. After three years of exploring other mediums, Toy Soldier will be published later this summer; a book of poetry and photography.
