"Ghosts" is a deeply personal reflection on the unseen, the lost, and the echoes of service that never truly fade. In the foreground, I stand—present yet fractured—my face partially overlaid with the flag, symbolizing both my identity as a veteran and the weight of sacrifice. Behind me, the spectral presence of a fallen sister-in-arms lingers, her memory woven into the very fabric of my being. The red handprints and boot prints, the fractured flag, all speak to the lives imprinted on us—the ones we carry with us long after the battles have ended. As a disabled female veteran, I know that some wars never truly leave us, and Ghosts is my way of honoring those who remain in the shadows of memory, forever a part of who we are.
