These are map abstractions from 2002-06. The War on Terror was still new to the media frenzy that surrounded it. Models in Paris Fashion Week were clothed in burkas and Mad Max army fatigues and it was shocking to me that the combination of elite fashion and the very real war occurring should be so casually overlapped. A map of Iraq with a bombing symbol in the form of a yellow star on it was aired on the news. The fact that a yellow star could represent such atrocity was as strange as super models dressed in apocalyptic burkas. I combined the images of women in burkas from news sites on the internet with the models in the burkas, as well as oil drills and yellow stars.
