Nostalgia

This evocative painting depicts of a group of women fleeing Mosul during the occupation of the city under ISIS.

The expressions on their faces show a mixture of grief, despair, anger, isolation, and fear. 

The painting depicts women dressed in what appears to be rag-doll outfits, seemingly dressed by someone else and not according to their own style or taste.  

The outfits seem incongruous and out of place.
