Artwork

The vision I have for the artwork in my trailer is not limited to explicit political statements or caricatures. I want the artworks to exhibit emotion and show the human condition of individuals living in countries plagued by war. There can be a display of devastation; yet, there should also be a resistant hope shown. I have stumbled upon articles (links below) that include art by Syrian refugees. The subject matter corresponds perfectly to my vision.

There is also an existing project similar to my vision called The Refugee Art Project. It showcases art from refugees to Australia who are stuck in detention centers. Artists are from: "Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Iran, Syria, the Kurdish regions of the Middle East and Burma."

Syed Ruhollah Musavi, 'Religious Elegy', oil on canvas, 60x85cm.

H, H, 'Afghan landscape', oil on canvas, 21x16cm.

I will begin to lay the exact details for what the message should be for the artworks. They will not be completely polished; yet, they will suffice the purpose of being displayed on the blog and for a quick shot of my main character drawing.
