You might think that the military suppresses creativity and individual expression. I do. Wait did I just admit that? Nevertheless, it still creeps out in unexpected ways and places. No less on the FOB. Where most see mundane concrete, earthworks, and defensive structures, some see a canvas. And, still others see an opportunity to critique. So let's celebrate the Hesco and jersey barrier as vehicles for artistry.
For some, the unit is the muse.
 |
| Seahorses and whacking bushes where there are none. Hmm, abstract. |
For some, inspiration comes from national identity.
 |
| Iconic |
For the FST, we just wanted the best. Everything is a competition, you know.
 |
| FST virtuosity. No seriously. |
Then there are the Hesco artists, who favor rawer sketch techniques.
 |
| Primal rage. Get thee to Combat Stress Therapy. |
 |
| It speaks to the interconnectedness of man, woman and guns. I think. Maybe. |
But in the end, isn't all art simply emotion?
 |
| I smile therefore I am...a Hesco. |
By the way, we were thinking of auctioning these priceless treasures. If you want to bid, let us know. Shipping not included.
