Message of Hope, Woodcut

I called this piece Message of Hope, this is because the main components represent Hope, Peace, Religion.

It linked to the previous picture, because the Hope is for the oppressed Kurdish people.

Peace is possible, as long as there is Religion and Hope.

The wall and barbed wire make it seem like the trials are unassailable, yet the pigeon is standing the on a roof above them, showing that reaching the
goal of peace is not impossible.

Furthermore, a clear link with previous picture is apparent lifeless black and white colour theme- all except the three symbols, which have colour.

Finally, the flower in the middle is called "The Flower of Support". This is because it seems like it is supporting the pigeon stand.

The moon is blue because it is akin to a hopeful blue sky. The green symbol of religion is green, because the religion od Islam is always green, like a growing plant. The pigeon is gray because that is a calm, peaceful colour, visible from the white background.

Kurdish Map, Screen print on paper

Kurdistan is not a recognised country. It is an amalgamation of 5 countries. Each of the countries has treated its kurdish population very harshly. There are many lost souls.

The Kurdish people want independence, but are not granted this simple right.

The skull shown symbolised all the live lost as a result of the oppression those neighbouring countries.

The lack of colour shows the little life left within the region.

The region completely covered with skulls because the whole region has been subjected to killing and execution, also it shows the smell of death.

the skulls are not completely apparent after seeing it immediately, but once recognised, it induces a shock-effect, reminiscent of a horror movie.
