‘198 of Thousands,’ Ehren Tool, 2014-15

Tool began making cups after serving in the Gulf War to communicate his experience. His personal project soon grew to encompass the struggles of other soldiers. The cups are not for sale -- Tool gives them away to servicemen and their families and anyone who asks. Each is formed by hand and stamped with an endless vocabulary of war images and insignia, echoing his message: "Once a person has witnessed war, they are forever changed."

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
