Stake attention in this memory
A collage artwork is displayed vertically on a brown paper background, which is mounted against a plain white surface. The central feature is a map of Syria, created from an assemblage of cut-out images, newspaper clippings, and text, predominantly in Arabic. Above the Syrian map outline, a speech bubble-shaped cutout made from newspaper text reads "بداية النهاية" (Beginning of the End) and includes a Syrian opposition flag (green, white, black with three red stars). Within the geographical shape of Syria, various elements are visible: * Scenes of crowds and protests, historical imagery (e.g., a horse-drawn carriage). * Segments of maps marking Syrian cities such as Idlib, Damascus, and Aleppo. * Textual inclusions like "ادلب تحت النار" (Idlib under fire) and "#Idlibunderfire". * A large green "Y" shape overlays the text "سجن صيدنايا محرر" (Sednaya Prison Liberated). * Images depicting destruction, a monument, a clock tower, and portraits of individuals. * The Syrian opposition flag is integrated multiple times. * A figure holding a weapon while also holding a rose, with the Arabic text "بلاد الياسمين" (Land of Jasmine). * A red box with "الثورة" (The Revolution) in white. * A patch of colorful flowers near the bottom of the map. * A date "24.12.08" is visible within the collage. Below the Syria outline, several irregular cutouts of newspaper clippings contain Arabic phrases: "ويومئذ يفرح المؤمنون" (And on that day the believers will rejoice), "ثورة مالهاد إلا النصر" (A revolution that has no end but victory), "جنة يا وطنا" (Paradise, O our homeland), and "للخلد وصلنا" (We have reached eternity). The date "2024.12.8" is positioned beneath these texts. Arabic text on the lower right corner provides credit for the work to "زين الدين، رامة محمد زين الدين، أمان نضال بدوي." A handwritten numeral "17" is visible in the top left corner of the brown paper. The artwork is located in the city of Idlib, Syria.
