Dog Food & Oysters captures two road trips across the United States, taken by photographer Sean Davey in 2004 and 2005 during the height of the Iraq War. The photographs offer a juxtaposition of everyday American life with subtle glimpses of the social and political tensions simmering beneath the surface.

Nearly two decades later, these images resonate with renewed relevance in the context of another destructive war. Davey’s work presents a quiet, indirect reflection on a nation's self-image, distilled through its symbols, landscapes, and cultural markers. His roving documentary style invites viewers to look closely at both the mundane and the meaningful, revealing a nuanced portrait of America in a time of conflict.
