APOCALYPSE 6:08
acrylic on paper

Beirut, August 4, 2020
Certain events transform the look, the inner time, the being.
Time slowed down on August 04 after 6:08; a minute has become eternity; loud, thundering, like a whistling in a heavy emptiness in the head of stray birds… A minute has become an eternity bringing a “revelation” in its depths.

OUR means the start, the beginning. It is the name of the first city in Mesopotamia. The first place of living together in our civilisation.
