Against the shattering flood of images and impressions, the artist rescues a vision of sacrifice; from all the horror, he catches a glimpse of beauty. Only someone who has gone through a real war could have nursed these pictures with this much tenderness, could have brought to these scenes of the Iraq war so much intimacy, and moved them through his hands slowly and carefully, so that out of this data, these digits, this noise from abroad, there might arrive at last an image.
