Toy Arab soldiers in black and white depicting Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in the middle east, or war and violence in general.


A line of Arab toy soldiers in shallow focus draw guns and swords to fight the enamy. 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 guns drawn forward. Blurred figures 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.
