Shirts, badges and lighters for happy men

2017




Artist’s book1- Collage, acrylic and ink on paper
Inspired by Riyad al-saleh al-Hussein poem: Shirts, badges and lighters for happy men.
Yesterday no one asked about you
No water in the sea
No fish on the beach
Yesterday no one asked about me
Death visited me, and there was no coffee on the shelf
And because death loves coffee like all people
He turned his lips and slapped the door behind him
and went on the dark train.
