the former Iraqi president "Saddam Husain" who was hanged last month, in this portrait. He was executed on the day of the greatest Muslim Holiday (Eid Al-Adha), where Muslims sacrifice sheep, cows, camels, etc for God. I am not usually into politics, and I am not defending Saddam or what he has done to his people or others, but I was against the timing of the execution. I watched the clip of his execution on the internet, and I was very moved on how Saddam stepped toward his destiny with no fear, just like a lion!!! From there the idea of this drawing came to mind and decided to put it on paper. The rope represents the noose.. The left side of his face represent transformation to a lion. The cracked wall represents Iraq and how it was destroyed! I hope I was able to convey my idea well enough in this simple portrait.
