"Sweet revenge..." Artist Reimagines World Leaders As "Refugees" In Powerful New Series.
It’s truly easy to judge others when you live a life of affluence and security is a companion. For all the millions of people who have been displaced due to war , however , such luxuries are rarely afforded. It is for this reason artist and Syrian refugee "Abdalla Al Omari" created a powerful series of paintings that reimagine world leaders as refugees.
Leaders including Vladimir Putin , Kim Jong-un , and Donald Trump are depicted as exhausted , penniless refugees who face challenges on a daily basis in the series entailed “The Vulnerability Series.” The artist explained this ,
“Intimate hours I spent with them have thought me more than I could imagine. Just as easily as everything worth defending can become defenseless , moments of absolute powerlessness can give you superpowers. In this universe without gravity , all we can hold on to is our vulnerability. I have convinced myself it is the strongest weapon humankind possesses , way more powerful than the trail of power games , bomb craters and bullet holes in our collective memories. Vulnerability is a gift we should all celebrate.”
