Two toy soldiers, one Arab and one American, stand in a face off with guns drawn to each other, depicting war and violence.


Toy soldiers depicting the conflict between middle eastern and western millitary forces or Taliban and al Qaeda fighters against coalition forces. An Arab looking toy soldier and an American looking toy soldier stand facing each other in a stand-off under a white spotlight with black darkness behind. They are seen close up, from the chest up. Glowing in tan and golden hues, the soldiers hold guns drawn on each other at close range. Both appear ominous with dark shadows playing across their faces and bodies. Both soldiers appear prepared to kill one another. A sense of fear and doom and uncertainty looms. Sentiments of war, oppression and politcal uprising are portrayed by these figurines which seem to come to life through dramatic lighting and a graphic poses.
