No Country For Young Men 5,

In 2016, After watching the news that 56 million people, 86 % were young men under 30, have migrated from their homeland and are looking for a place to start a new life, I was really shocked. At that time I was volunteering in one of the refugee centers in my neighborhood as a translator. I thought I was aware of what was happening but that figure wasn't something I can deal with. For the next couple of weeks, I had these images flowing to my head while I’m in bed almost every night. The images were very fragmented. In the beginning, I was seeing feet, many feet, many bare feet. They were moving in some kind of rhythm, like a marching orchestra. And one day I decided to paint at the bottom of three canvases to paint those feet without knowing where it was going. After that, I start to see the hands and the shoulders and the heads. The three paintings start to progress accordingly. These are the only three paintings that I worked from bottom to top.
