Detainees – Iraq
2007-2013
A series of works, including monoprints and paintings, based on found images of detainees from the Iraq War, following the U.S. invasion in 2003.
The series aims to confront the viewer with the humiliating and dehumanizing postures imposed on the other—in this case, Iraqi detainees—provoking reflection on our relationship with power and our complicity in actions carried out in our time and in our name.
