Comments
This work shows a shop in Iraq. The artist's website explains: '[Shopkeeper] Neshwan Ibrahim reopened 3 months ago (apr/May 2018). He closed in Oct 2017 because he couldn’t cross the river and then in December 2017, after accusing him of being with the army, ISIS stole his stock. He lives in the east with his six sons but works west.'
