Bagram
Prison, Afghanistan - 2009. Oil on linen.
Given the escalating war in Afghanistan, Vallen painted
a glimpse of Obama's Guantánamo - the notorious U.S.
military prison at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan.
The prison holds more than 600 detainees designated
as "unlawful enemy combatants"; individuals that in
some cases have been held for years without charge,
legal representation, or due-process rights.
