"Bread"

I wanted to make a statement that goes beyond the questions of political direction. Egypt’s population is growing rapidly and the basic necessity to be able to produce its own food, releasing it from foreign aid and increasing debt, is essential. Egyptians are the world’s largest consumers of bread and Egypt is the largest wheat importer. I chose to use the simple symbolism of the 5 pieces of bread, which appears fun and graphic. But the statement posed on the painting “By the year 2050 the population will increase 60 million” is an abrupt and startling reality of the road ahead.
