On the internet, I search for Iraq War photographs between 20 March 2003 — 18 December 2011: the beginning and end of the war. The photos are digitally altered to reconstructed the background, hence creating a second picture. From the two pictures, I digitally reconstructed the background, generated a sequence of images, to reconstruct the Drawdown.
