Original artwork description:

Every where the Afghan child looks he sees conflict, he sees a threat. Imagine living your whole life with that fear. I can not begin to imagine it. I wanted to show an Afghan child proud of his heritage, proud of his country and his people yet if you look closely into his eyes you see what he sees which is the "Man", the threat. I wanted to show this threat in every other square in the painting, you pick up a card and is it a good or bad card, you walk on a path and is it a safe or unsafe path. These questions forced upon a child whilst his childhood slips away.

I wanted to paint "I See The Man Everywhere" in a realism style using oil paints on canvas. I wanted to create a documentary of the consequences of war.
I primed the canvas in red paint and started building the layers of the oil painting initially using large brushes and gradually decreasing the size of the brushes until I used single hair brushes for the smallest of detail.
