Collection: The Freedom Price
While I was in Iraq from 2013-2015, Jassim Al-Asadi, who honors me with his friendship, introduced me to the esteemed translator Amir Doshi of Nasiriya. This 4-panel painting is inspired by the Iraqi protests that began on 1 October, 2019, and a personal friend's alcohol related suicide earlier the same year.
In correspondence during the early months of the protests Amir wrote that the lives lost were "the freedom price". These events may seem unrelated, even in opposition philosophically, but to me they are both about the price of freedom. These 4 panels are offered as a collection.
