Pictures of War

Using charcoal and watercolor as mediums, this visual interpretation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan represents the television images surrounding the conflict in a more lucid and humane way. Including images of army tanks, helicopters, handcarts, a gunman's stance, the aftermath of a roadside bomb, and more, this evocative view of the war abolishes the distance that has come to anesthetize people in their home countries. A fresh representation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this collection of images is a moving artistic response to 21st-century conflict.
