Title not known (Al-Mukhtar 9)

Composition with pillars of smoke and central dove

This emotional composition, by Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar, is dominated by pillars of twisting smoke; within the smoking columns disembodied eyes float surrounded by colored lines. A dove stands placidly in the foreground whilst in the middle ground arrowhead forms point downward flanking a simplified bomb. Geometric shapes filled with primary colors stand at the extreme foreground and contrast the organic shapes in the remainder of the composition.
