Trauma Bond (The Good and The Bad)

Most people want to hear the heroic war stories of the past but are unaware of life after. When a brother or sister in arms is discharged, they are mostly forgotten and pushed aside. But let's puch this topic even more. Some members currently serving their country are going through things usually covered up by stoic poker faces. Some war stories are about battles at home, in the office, or trauma from within. These common traumas bond every military member in a twisted fraternity/sorority held together with pain and pride. This series is an inside peek at military veteran’s lives from where they were to where they are now. Most of the pieces in this collection will be paintings on the front and back of each canvas. There will be photographs to illustrate military experiences and sculptural pieces to tie everything together.
