Description
During displacement and ethnic cleansing, you are required to show your identity card. This card determines whether you are allowed to pass, be arrested, or even face death. Many of us are arrested simply for carrying this card, as it signifies resistance for our occupied homeland. That is why I titled this piece Life or Death Card.
Preservation Notes
Osama's works have all been destroyed since October 7 2023, during what is now termed one of the most departing modern day holocaust's of our generation. These latest sketches are all done on his laptop that he has managed to salvage, and uses it as so many in his circumstance as an artistic tool to create and keep creating his sketches and drawings.
