When asked whether he felt a weight of responsibility in capturing the traumatic, personal narratives, Brian Adams responded:

” I just thought that I should try to be as honest with them as possible, because they were being honest with me.”

Initially the images make me feel consumed, they draw me in and make me take a moment to consider what it is they could have gone through in order to get to where they are today, not just the traumatic event of being in war but the rehabilitation physically and mentally afterwards.

After the initial observation I start to notice the textures displayed and patterns created as the result of such an awful event it think are beautiful. The scars represent a pattern that I think would be really effective as a print on a garment.
