THE FLAGS OF ALEPPO Collage

THE FLAGS OF ALEPPO Inhabited since the sixth century B. C., Aleppo was the most populous city in Syria before the beginning of the country's civil war. At one time it was the terminus of the ancient silk road and accrued massive wealth by this means. Throughout the Millennium It has been the capitol of several distinct independent countries, states, and has been an important city in the Middle East since its' inception. So numerous flags have flown over the city before it became part of Syria. Early in the Syrian rebellion, sheets were strewn between buildings to show independence from the dictator Assad. Now little remains as the rebels have been bombed into submission by Assad's allies the Russians. Sadly the U. S. is complicit as well in this genocide. The taint of ISIS as a perceived ally has hurt the cause greatly, and it made surrender, the only option for those trapped within its' city limits. Surreallascapes: Each Collage is made up of at least 40 different pictures arranged in a landscape where the physical world is real, but the essence is of an alternate dimension. Or a Jigsaw puzzle where the pieces are made to fit together in a dreamlike manner. This will be offered as a signed and numbered print, limited to an edition of 25. Made from 100% rag paper, the 18" X 25" prints include a one-inch border.
