Description

Zahidah 5

 

acrylic and oil colour, 170x124x5cm

 

 

I have explained my feelings here through the eyes: one eye is a call for demonstration, and the other is a scream. My choice of colour and the poem also emphasise my feelings.

The Omar Al Khayam poem in Arabic painted on the silver pot is about someone wondering that if he were a god, he would give people the chance to be free. The other script on the bottom panel is from a popular Arabic song talking about breaking fear and silence. The poem has recently become popular since the beginning of Syrian unrest. The fear the poem refers to has been with Syrian people for the last 40 years. The surrounding flowery decoration is in a 17th/18th century Iranian style.
