 Iraq - Nina Berman - "Marine Wedding"

Tyler Ziegel (born in 1982) is a United States Marine Corps Sergeant who was seriously injured while serving in Iraq. During his second tour in Iraq in 2004, his unit was attacked by a suicide bomber. Ziegel had been trapped in a burning truck, the heat melted the flesh from his face. He sustained massive injuries, but survived. After returning to the United States, he spent 18 months in Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas.

His injuries led to the loss of his left forearm and of three fingers of his right hand, and he was rendered blind in his right eye. He also sustained widespread severe burns that led to the loss of his ears and much of the tissue on his face. His shat-tered skull was replaced by a plastic dome, a piece of his brain was removed and his face was constructed more or less from scratch with salvaged tissue, holes are left where his ears and nose had been. Despite the range and severity of his injuries, and after over 50 operations, Ziegel had recovered enough to leave the hospital.

I have spent the last few years photographing American war wounded that have returned home from Iraq. My early photographs show them alone in the frame, isolated, without visible evidence of support. Photographing Ty Ziegel and Renee Kline gave me an opportunity to see how a couple thrust into a brutal reality, struggles to maintain faith in themselves and their beliefs. I hope my pictures re-veal the complexity of that struggle and offer the viewer few easy answers.
