Toy Arab soldiers in black and white depicting Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in the middle east, or war and violence in general.
This image depicts the sterotypical western idea of the current Iraqi Civil War. Two groups of Arab-looking toy soldiers face off against each other with guns and weapons drawn. The soldiers are portrayed in graphic black and white and stand against a stark white background. The soldiers appear ominous in robes and turbines and beards with swords drawn over their heads. Blurred images in the background create the feeling of movement and battle. A sense of fear and doom and uncertainty looms. Sentiments of war, oppression and political uprising are portrayed by these figurines which seem to come to life through dramatic lighting and graphic poses.
