Mars the Prophet
t. ink, watercolor and gold on paper s. 20 x 47 cm
August, 2013. There was a great tension in the heaven and on the earth. My friends and I were spending awkward moments watching war videos on Liveleak. I was impressed by the footage of heroic tanker against Al-Nusra and instantly made a screenshot. Afterwards, I prepared a surreal platform for it by introducing symbolic readings. While flame pattern which I attempted to idolize represents flame over the heads of holy people in traditional miniature art, the continuity of firing refers to the fact that cruelty never ends. Every other image is a result of a complex imagination.
