About artwork: In this photograph, the artist chose to convey the complex life of a young Arab man who once found support from his family and community, but as fate would have it, became his enemy due to a divergent path and ideas that are contrary to the customs of his country and the Arab world. The sea serves as both a backdrop and a symbol, representing his pursuit of inner clarity and the need to break free from the constraints imposed by others. Diving down, a profound question emerges: Is he deserving of life, or is it better to die?
