7x5" Mixed Media on Paper
Style & Technique
This is a mixed-media collage painting combining watercolor or gouache painting with collaged paper elements. The technique blends painterly brushwork with torn/cut paper fragments seamlessly integrated into the figure.
Subject & Composition
A solitary male figure is depicted holding a small U.S. military aircraft (likely a WWII-era propeller plane bearing a star insignia). His clothing is constructed entirely from collaged materials, including fragments reading "ghost fleet" and "U.S. Air Force."
Background
The lower portion incorporates what appears to be a vintage map showing Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the Persian Gulf, and Qatar — grounding the piece geographically in the Middle East.
Symbolism
A stylized spiral sun floats in the upper right
The collaged military text suggests themes of war, memory, and geopolitical conflict
Overall Mood
Contemplative and layered — the piece seems to explore military history, identity, and American presence in the Middle East.
