Something horrible into something playfully palatable.
I've been drawn to Goya's Disasters of War etchings for quite some time. They are horrifying and beautiful. Clearly what Goya saw needed to be removed from him.
Scenes from videos of modern war have stuck themselves in my mind but they felt too real to revisit. The hope of this project was to take pictures that are hard to look at and make them almost lovely.
