Artist's Statement

 It is my hope that the public of our country have a place to contemplate these wars in a way which goes past politics and past silent memorials. The goal of 100 Faces is to understand human nature as it is represented by those people going abroad into these wars, to understand our country, and ourselves.

Project description

On completion the 100 Faces project will consist of 100 Portraits of Americans who have been to the theaters of war in Iraq or Afghanistan (OEF,OIF). Each portrait is accompanied by a placard featuring a statement written by the person pictured and a brief biography of the person pictured. The biographical information and the statement reflect the person at the time of the creation of the portrait.

Mostly military personnel are pictured but some civilians are also pictured. All have travelled from America to the theater of war in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The portraits are not for sale and not done at any cost to the participants.  This project is made possible through donations.  Please make a small donation to help this work continue.

The portraits and statements are meant to be exhibited both while the project is in progress and upon completion. This exhibition is meant to serve as a place where people can contemplate the nature of the American experience of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

100 Faces of War Experience is granted not-for-profit status through the Veterans Education Project, a 501c3 organization located in Amherst, MA.
