ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My motivation for this painting was the article underneath, the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East and how the revolution spread out around other countries by social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Activists in Egypt called for an uprising in their own country to protest against poverty, unemployment, and government corruption, etc. I used a candle to represent the civilians’ actions, especially a woman holding a candle image over the backdrop of articles from January 2011. We often use a lighted candle as a nonviolent way to strike out against injustice or in memory of victims and those who died. Candlelight symbolizes the sacrifice of one’s life. Fire signifies the light from the darkness.
