Aziz Hazara derives the vivid green images in his works from retinal scans and biometric data that he extracts from night-vision goggles. Frequently left behind in conflict zones by foreign military forces, these goggles and their data are often sold in markets in the United States, Afghanistan, and the surrounding region. Hazara looks at supply chains and the production of surveillance technologies and their afterlives in places that have recently been occupied by the United States.
