It was your Family
It was your Family consists of fruit native to South Vietnam and appropriated war imagery. For people in the western developed world, these faceless images of war were like flavors of foreign fruit. Commenting on the western gaze, the haunting images of humanity have been stripped away, similar to emotions experienced by the anonymous subjects. The fruit are substitute to the missing information within each image, while the presence of the black and white images start a dialogue with the colorful fruit.
