Enduring Freedom is s a response to the September 11, 2001 attack
on the World Trade Center and the US led war against Afghanistan.
Drawing on the displays of public grieving and memorials for those
killed in New York, this installation presents a memorial for the
thousands of Afghans killed in the war. Upon each grave
is a torn out section of a newspaper article that gives brief but
specific detail about Afghan civilians killed by US bombing. For example:
I lost my daughter two days ago. The Americans bombed our
home in Kandahar and the roof fell on her. Her name was Muzlifa. She
was two. Then there was my other daughter. She died too. Her name
was Farigha. She was three. There wasn't much left of my son. When
the roof hit him, he was turned to meat and all I could see were bones.
His name was Sherif. He was a year and a half old
