This work is a visual representation of a combat veterans mind set. With PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) it is very hard to focus on one simple task, similar to things just piling on top of one another in one chaotic mess. The use of personal pictures from my time in Iraq coupled with the found images are symbolic of the fact that even though we survived and came back to the world, we never fully left the combat zone. 

The word "Ttouble" is representative of myself having been in a myriad of it since my return in October of 2008. The bottom background image is a panorama of one of our operating camps while on mission. The top background image is that of a "combat jump." I have also inserted photos of myself throughout the piece as well as a majority of my interests.
