Subject
Aerial view of desert landscape and Great Mosque of Samarra
Description
Here al-Rassam has focused on the Great Mosque of Samarra as the main subject. A small aircraft traverses the canvas space allowing for a unique perspective of the archaeological site. The ruins are made up of the wall of the mosque and the Malwiya Tower, an iconic symbol of Iraq. The remainder of the canvas is composed of a desert-scape with crisscrossing fault lines resembling river beds.
