This is my latest video art work to date. I set out to connect the duality that I felt while stationed in Afghanistan, that while I was there I identified as a "student" and as a student I [was] identified as a veteran. It continues the theme in my work regarding life here in the United States and how concurrently combat continues around the world. Likewise it connects ideas between practice and professionalism, behind both making art and working as a professional security contractor.

This was a piece to deal with the realities of living with Post Trauma Stress Disorder more commonly known as PTSD. I chose to do this in part because it is a self portrait but also because there are a lot of misconceptions about what PTSD is, how it affects people and generally the fears people have about "Vets with PTSD going all Rambo".
