In Unfinished
Portrait, we see images
of
the first 3000 US troops who died in the invasion
and occupation of
Iraq. Almost 1000 more have joined them in death
since. They are victims
of a war that never should have been, and
their ranks continue to grow. The piece is almost,
but not quite
finished, left that way to emphasize that this will always be a work in
progress,
that once a war’s killing begins, it carries on long after
the original mission is accomplished.
