The "Civilian Medal" series was aesthetically inspired by an admiration and awe for vintage military medals. The idea of the people who owned them and the experiences of their life as a whole, not just that of the military, was very intriguing to me. Is it possible that their civilian lives held harder challenges than their lives in the military? There are amazing and gruesome happening in everyone's lives from those in the military to normal civilians surviving the streets in our roughest cities and even teenagers living in the suburbs. Life is challenging and rewarding and these medals are for the civilians going through the trials and tribulations of life without reward.
