This photograph is an image of a sergeant that got his face and skull blown off in Iraq. This image is strong because of its use of distance from the subject, placement of subject on the page, negative space, point of view/ angel of view, depth of field, & color.
The image can be interpreted that it is showing the negative effects of war. Nina is showing this idea in a way current with what is going on with the world today. Throughout her series she shows the wounds next to the ages of the people who have received the purple heart. This award is suppose to represent bravery and getting wounded in the line of duty but the images show nothing more than a young man who will live the rest of his life deformed.
