Using special effects techniques, this digital sculpture was added into a live action scene. The sculpture is about world view conflict and identity. The sculpture is an attempt to deal with my origin as a Palestinian that I've been so detached from, while keeping it open and nonexclusive to the Palestinian issues. The warrior figure is stabbed in the back by a root that has a flag, the symbol of nobility. The flag's identity has been covered with blood and dirt it is no longer identifiable. The warrior holds a severed hand that resembles failed attempts for peace or a memory of a brother that was killed by the same force that is breaking the concrete post he is on threatening his stability. The figure himself is worn out and isolated with the gas mask, he is holding the gun to him balanced with hand away from the trigger.
