"Unknown Soldier": American military crippled in wars
The author of the Unknown Soldier project says that his photo story is not about the war, but, on the contrary, about what remains of it. About realities that previously seemed unthinkable.
For three years, the photographer photographed the military, who were badly maimed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He visited his heroes in their homes and military hospitals.
