The image displays a three-dimensional, relief-style artwork shaped like the geographical map of Syria, approximately 60-70 cm in height, mounted on a white wall. The artwork is constructed from a rigid material, painted metallic silver, and heavily splattered and streaked with red paint resembling blood, particularly along its exterior edges and within its internal compartments. The interior of the Syrian map is divided into multiple horizontal shelves and vertical partitions, creating a grid of approximately 30-40 individual cells or compartments. Within these cells, numerous small, dark, silhouette-like human figures are positioned. These figures appear solitary, in pairs, or in small family-like groups. In the upper-most compartments, two light-colored, rectangular structures resembling building facades with rows of window-like openings or prison bars are visible, with smaller human figures behind them. The artwork is suspended from the wall by a white hook, from which a twisted twine string descends to attach to the top center of the map. The white wall serves as a backdrop, with an upper section revealing an exposed stone wall constructed from large, irregularly shaped light-brown stones interspersed with horizontal dark wooden beams. To the right and slightly below the main artwork, a small, rectangular plaque, approximately 15x10 cm, is affixed to the white wall. This plaque is also silver-painted with red streaks and features handwritten Arabic text. The text, translated, reads: "Aggression is the action. On the occasion of the Idlib Liberation Revolution. The Struggle. Presented by: Hiba, Rafea Trendi, Adeeb Hamid, Sadam Jabir." This text indicates the artwork is part of an exhibition or event related to the "Idlib Liberation Revolution" in Idlib, Syria. A sliver of a brown, vertically oriented object with Arabic text is partially visible on the white wall to the left of the main artwork. Below the plaque, a portion of another framed artwork or textile with a dark, intricate pattern is visible. The scene is indoors, likely within an art gallery or exhibition space in Idlib, Syria.
