WEEPING PALMS: STOLEN CHILDHOODS
Um Amer Weeping Palms Stolen Childhoods Watercolor 17x29cm 2004 Basil al-Rahim Collection UK
This series of paintings was sparked off with the war on Iraq and madeprecisely one year after in 2004. At the beginning I painted small works using water colour on paper. With the problems compounding and Iraq escalating into further violence, chaos and disorder, I turned to larger work using oil on canvas. This formed the core of a collection I entitled Kites and Shattered Dreams.
