A toy Arab soldier depicts Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in the middle east, or war and violence in general.


An Arab looking toy soldier stands in isolation under a white spotlight with black darkness behind. Glowing in tan and golden hues, the soldier holds a sword above his head with both arms, with a large gun slung over his right shoulder. He stands ominously in a robe and turbine and sheath disguising his face, with dark shadows playing across his face and body. The toy soldier is prepared to fight or to kill what seems to be threatening him as his body seems to be attacking. A sense of fear and doom and uncertainty looms. Sentiments of war, oppression and politcal uprising are portrayed by this lone figurine which seems to come to life through dramatic lighting and a graphic pose.
