The rifling in the gun barrel led to thoughts about how it controls the spin of the projectile and how other effects of war are not so easily controlled. I reconstructed the rifling as a set of dark and light bands, taking the colors from the original and adding some variation with render>clouds, then spiraled them using repeated applications of the shear filter. The figure of the girl is modeled on the famous picture from the Vietnam war of a girl running from a village after a napalm strike.
