'Breach', a series of images of occupied Iraqi palaces previously belonging to Saddam Hussein and his sons, by photographer Richard Mosse.

“'Breach' is a military maneuver in which the walls of a fortification (or palace) are broken through. But breach also carries the sense of replacement—as in, stepping into the breach. The U.S. stepped into the breach that it had created, replacing the very thing that it sought to destroy.”
