Artwork of the Day - Tamam Azzam

I found this incredibly moving . . . . . . heart wrenching and really quite staggering . . . . .if ever a work stood as a sign of the times it is this . . . . .

UPDATE!

The Statue of Liberty, rebuilt by Tamam Azzam, a Syrian artist, digital art!

As I thought . . . . .

“An image depicting a Statue of Liberty-like structure, allegedly made from bombed rubble of Aleppo, has made the rounds of the internet in the past week, with the claim that it was an artwork by Syrian artist Tammam Azzam. The image in question is indeed from a work by Azzam, which in fact goes back to 2012, but it is a digital composition in which different parts of bombed out buildings are assembled together to resemble French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi’s statue; it is also possible to tell from simple observation that the image is not real (though some netizens, like political scientist Ian Bremmer, apparently could not)”

Regardless its message is the same . . .
