In a second series titled Walls of Wartime (2010), the artist applies his modified palette to post-invasion scenes of Baghdad, and covers sections of his canvases with a white translucent film. Painted from memory, the semi-abstract works reproduce the sediment of devastation that has settled over its streets in the decade since the start of the US-led campaign. A portrait of Risan is shown as a pallid outline in most works. The shape of his body gains volume from the dust-colored deposits that line the picture.
