Wow, Thom,
This is one powerful piece! And it's beautiful!
I was in Viet Nam and was so young that I did not know the real reason I was there! I witnessed so many things that one should not see in a lifetime!
And of course, I had P.T.S.D. later on in my life. They consisted of nightmare dreams mostly. I'm over that now but I realize what one's brain will hide away
in the interest of sanity. I don't think about that era anymore...mel
Excellent, thought provoking work with a most important message! I really appreciate all that went into composing this powerful, mixed media art work, Thom.
