Description

Depicts an image of the United States flag superimposed over rows of skulls, rather than stars. Referring to the involvement of the United States in the First Gulf War (1990-91) , Evans' work criticises America's right to impose their military capabilities upon others, potentially causing a great number of casualities, as illustrated by the rows of skulls.
