“Child’s Play” is a series of images created over several months in 2012. The
images represent the balance between the truths we found as children playing with toy
soldiers and other forms of playing war, as opposed to the truths we learn later in life.
As we grow older and realize our own mortality and the fragile nature of the human
mind and body. The games of fighting and shooting and warfare are more serious from
this new mature perspective then before when the consequences were not as easily
understood. What was once an acceptable form of play and expression becomes an
acceptable form of horror, representing deeper connotations as to why we are trained at
a young age to play with the idea of war, death, and violence.
