Abstract

In this project I explore visual representation, abstraction, and the interpretation of violence as transformed aesthetic forms. Through drawing and film, I develop a visual language to interpret the subject of war, to allow my audience to experience the dynamics of conflict and to reflect upon the devastating toll that war takes on humanity.
