Still Waters Posted February 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2017 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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-39064088 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted February 25, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted February 25, 2017 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
