This was created as an abstract version of a song of my choice. I chose This is War by Smile Empty Soul.
You can hear it and see the lyrics at:
The main photograph is of my friend Marc that I met in Hawaii. The other images are from NowThatsF***edup.com which is now closed do to obscene images.... The last image is just the under side. Please be aware that they are very graphic before you look closely.
A lot of the images have children, dead people, intense injuries and deformities from gas. It was really sad to sort through these images and select the ones I thought were not too bad to show at school. These aren't even close to being as bad as some of the others.
The project is printed on 16x16 photo paper and mounted to foam board. The top image is burned to allow a sneak peek of what lies behind the men at war, what they have seen and lived through.
Do let me know what y'all think about the project.

Wow Chels. That is intense. I think you did a good job of portraying what the song says. It's sad. I have a hard time looking at images like that, and luckily I couldn't enlarge your pics. But I could see what some of them were like. I'm sure this was a little tough for you to put together. But I think you did great work.
