The basement

Parents will tell their children often ‘the walls have ears’.  Freedom of speech is a taboo in Syria. So, Ahmad was silent. In the bunker  he captures his stories in art and language, in order to share them with people.

His past in Syria is the inspiration behind the work. By painting and portraying he observes his fears. His sorrows and frustrations.

He is the maker and the artwork. And even though the walls have ears, He is silent no more.
