Damien has utilised spliced, collaged contemporary photographs of aged ex-servicemen with hand painted images of skeletons dressed in World War I military uniforms. These portrayals are based upon the life and death situations these men and their colleagues faced during their time in combat. The images also demonstrate the psychological scars carried by these men throughout their lives, influenced by crucial moments in time. The simple red line in the background is a symbolic reference to heartfelt feelings and the continuance of life in the face of death.
