Selfie Of War

“Faces of War” Paris

The War in Yemen: More than 230,000 dead, since 2014

A minute of silence, in solidarity.

Today, in the city center of Paris, I worked on my most recent mural “Selfie Faces of War” measuring 3.2 x 8 meters, which is an extension of the virtual campaign, that I launched October 2020, where hundreds of people from around the world, took part in this action, to denounce the war in Yemen and around the world.

“19 Faces of War” Port de Bouc

On Saturday January 16, 2021, a wall mural 40 meters long and two meters high which I worked on at the entrance to Port-de-Bouc.
The mural consists of 19 posters, nineteen faces of French people who participated in the “Faces of War” selfie campaign that I launched in October 2020, in the form of a virtual campaign to condemn the war in Yemen.
This work was carried out in collaboration with the Center d’Art Fernand Léger, run by the brilliant Laure Lamarre and with the support of the city of Port-de-Bouc.
My special thanks to the team without which I could not have work on this wall: my wonderful friend Caroline Malatrait, the French artist Patrick Malatrait and my friend Shady Abu Zeid

“War of Bargains”

Nothing to add, a war raging for six years, and local and international parties using children and innocents as fuel for their wars.

The mural depicate a Yemeni child who participated in the campaign to protest against the continuation of the ongoing war.
The background shows the ancient Yemeni language “Al-Musnad”, in discription of The past and present of a forgotten country.
