The Fog of War
posted:
This was an assignment for Brown Alumni Magazine. The story was about a hair-raising day of combat in Afghanistan from the perspective of a military doctor and Brown Alum. This doctor worked in the Helmand Province and the Now Zad District Center and I used Google Image search to view the area of combat and it is not pretty, I really feel for our armed forces and their families. Titled, "Through the Fog" this story describes the emotional experience of “The fog of war” which is a phenomenon unique to armed conflict. It is the intangible force that encompasses the uncertainty, ambiguity and complexity of war. I worked with Design Director Lisa Sergi who commented after receiving my sketches, "Push it further, you can go abstract". How often do you hear, "Push it further" ? Thank you, Lisa!
