The Scream

Falak Al Gazzi

Fumage, soot on paper, 33 x 25 cm, Private Collection

I was watching TV news, and saw a man trying to cross the German border with his family. Unfortunately, the police caught him and he was screaming like this. He was screaming for safety and freedom. I felt he was screaming for everyone in a similar situation. I use soot and smoke to express these strong emotions and ideas.
