Right Place Right Time - Fine Art Print
Right Place Right Time is an retrospection of the artist's real first-hand experiences and her personalization of the wholesale slaughter of civilians in Syria. It was only days after the police began shooting and bombing the crowds of civilians, when her and her family received an opportunity to flee. And within days of leaving she received news that her own home had been targeted by an air strike, and her neighborhood had been leveled.
The drawing uses chalk to create an eerie and unsettling feeling where time is split between two possibilities, like a forked road. One possibility depicts survival where the other depicts loss. The juxtaposition of both is an important representation, not just that both directions can exist as a sole outcome, but more that both outcomes coexist within a survivor. In this artwork the surviving girl has a jasmine in her hair, a symbol of Syria, an important but subtle inclusion. Despite her being able to leave, she will never be able to leave her past behind, nor can she forget the possibility of what might have been.
This artwork comes printed in border-less format on beautiful matte paper. In your choice of 4 standard frame sizes, A4, A3 & A2. Each print is hand-signed by the artist to ensure it's uniqueness.
