Title not known (Al-Mukhtar 14)

Surreal composition with smoke and faces

In this complex composition, the pillars of smoke have taken on an animalistic form with large protruding eyes. The billow of smoke at the lower portion of the picture plane exhibits the faces of various individuals who appear disconnected from their bodily selves. A band of script sits behind three architectural forms while the head of a pale man floats above them. Two bombs flanked by arrowhead-like shapes point downwards in a maleficent manner.
