Suicide Bomber - Intifadart

Translation / Interpretation / Caption Text / Source
Artists' Statement: Suicide bombing is one of the worst trends that spread out within the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and was equally harmful to both sides. So, as part of the Sustainability of Palestine Project-Intifadart, the thoughts of a suicide bomber were laid out as an explosion to represent the chain of thoughts that drove him/her to commit those actions. The point of this poster is that words/discussion/debate are more powerful and effective than deadly, random attacks.
