Under the eye

A mother lifts her empty hand toward a sky ruled by a single, glaring eye—part drone, part spotlight—while the other cradles her lifeless child.

Panic freezes on the faces around her: a stretcher-bearer, a man whose shout is swallowed by the roar of an incoming missile, a dove caught mid-flight between hope and annihilation.

Broken minarets and skeletal ruins frame the scene, echoing tragedies from Guernica to Gaza, from Gaza to Tehran. Rendered in stark charcoal tones and fractured Cubist geometry, the work asks: What happens to humanity when war becomes permanent?
