"The Great Battle (After Canaletto)” by James Johnson-Perkins may illustrate these ideas perfectly, but mainly how our fascination for the war is continuous. No matter how much we know about its reality, we will always wonder the lives we did not live and the stories we could have lived. We rely on the heroic figures to give us hope for the future and remembrance for the past. This digital collage is giving the viewer an insight into what a contemporary war looks like through the lens of pop-culture."
