Photo Credit: Daniel A. Heyman, He Could Feel the Dog's Breath, from the Amman series of The Abu Ghraib Project, March 2006, drypoint on Rives BFK paper. |
In 2006, Daniel Heyman '85 traveled to Jordan and Turkey with attorneys who were taking depositions from prisoners tortured at Abu Ghraib as part of a class-action lawsuit filed on their behalf. His drypoint portraits include excerpts from the interviews scrawled around the figures of the former prisoners. In utilizing art to reconcile horrendous infringements on civil liberties, Heyman's portraits remove the sitters from the ranks of anonymous victims of torture and give each a face and a voice as they bear witness to the grievous wrongs done against them.
