This painting is a calling to the winds and the waves of the sea to hit our shores and cleans our souls. By the power of the pure elements: water, air and salt, it is the time for an internal revolution and cultural change.
Inspired by a poem written for Beirut/Ishtar, the gates of the seas, by the poet Nizar Kabbani. The poem itself is a calling for Beirut (Ishtar) to stand up from underneath the waves, to stand up like a poet of flower or a poet of fire. A calling to revolt and change.
