This series presents two contrasting groups of works, united by a shared black atmosphere that lends them a foggy, ancient mood, evoking a sense of timelessness and mystery. Each group offers a profound commentary on the stark disparities that define our world.
The first three artworks depict the suffering in parts of the Arab world, where life is marked by poverty, a lack of dignity, and the absence of fundamental rights. These scenes are dominated by a red sky, a powerful symbol of despair and the bloodshed that underscores these struggles.
In contrast, the other three paintings portray countries on the opposite side of the spectrum, basking in enlightenment and prosperity. However, their affluence is often built on the struggles and pain of others. These works are framed by a yellow sky, representing light, jealousy, and the moral complexities of such wealth.
Together, these pieces challenge viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of global suffering and privilege, urging a deeper understanding of the world’s inequalities.
