War and Torture
I would like my work to stand as a lasting declaration of my abhorrence towards torture and brutality, and for the act of buying it to be a gesture of solidarity.
Working with this subject matter does not come easily, any more than attempting to describe it does, yet I feel I have to face the stark fact of its existence.
It is also hard to acknowledge that we are all living in a time when the cool epithet of ‘rendition’ cynically attempts to soften the realization of how ready the state can be to justify barbarism and inhuman suffering in the name of ‘security’.
