Turning pebbles into pictures of the war


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The imagery is all too familiar. A family on the move, their meagre belongings carried on their heads; a cluster of frightened children gripping a mother figure; the body of a victim cradled on the ground by a woman.

These are depictions of the war in Syria - but they have been delicately composed with stones. They are the work of 52-year-old Syria-based artist and sculptor Nizar Ali Badr, who publishes pictures of his creations on Facebook.

Each piece tells a story, and the stone scenes seem to come alive.

It's amazing how he's managed to put across so much meaning with these pebbles, both beautiful and sad. When I look at them I'm lost for words.

It's not what I was expecting when I clicked your link SW. Incredible.
