Toy Arab soldiers depict 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. An Arab looking toy soldier in a graphic black and white emerges from a stark white background. A faceless soldier behind him has his gun drawn over his shoulder. Seen in a close up view, the soldier holds an unseen gun drawn in his right hand. He appears ominous in a robe and turbine and beard 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. A sense of fear and doom and uncertainty looms. Sentiments of war, oppression and political uprising are portrayed by this figurine which seems to come to life through dramatic lighting and a graphic pose.
