- Summary:
- "Defense Language is comprised of photographs from the project Simulating Iraq. The photographs show costumed role-players, elaborate Hollywood-inspired sets and staged tableaus on military bases across the United States. I embedded myself on these bases between 2006 and 2023 to explore the depiction of Arabs and Muslims during counterinsurgency training for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan"-- Artist's website.
