What Followed Him
On the battlefield, terror has a shape. He will carry it somewhere else.
KAIRO BLACK / COLLECTION IN DEVELOPMENT
AFTER THE
UNIFORM
He comes home. The war arrives with him.
THE WORK
Home is familiar.
He isn't sure he is.
After the Uniform follows one veteran from the battlefield into the everyday rooms he fought to return to. A grocery aisle turns into a memory. A quiet bedroom feels unsafe. His reflection becomes difficult to face. At dinner, his family is close enough to touch, yet he struggles to be present with them.
Across six works, the collection asks what coming home means when the danger is over but the body and mind have not caught up. It stays with the person behind the uniform and the people trying to reach him.
