Nameer Qassim’s painting inspired by the dances of the Folklore Folk Dance Troupe, two hands are united to repel a deep-rooted injustice as eyes stare at the face of an ungrateful time. Strong shoulders rise for every dream that began to flutter, and for every hope raised for a promising life, and a bright future. Nothing fails the bird except by the breaking of its dreams, and it does not clip its wings except by the retraction of its voice. So the bird promised his sky that it would not stop expressing openly, and from the loud cry, “Enough.”
