Artist's Statement
In my work I have tried to give all the appreciation
that this animal deserves. The almighty God mentioned it
4 times in the Quran, and I chose this color coded
language to reflect my surrounding atmosphere and its
surrounding as well, this pet animal which is
indispensable for the peasant. And the source for this
visual language is nature: trees, palm trees, plants,
countryside houses, pigeons towers, birds, agriculture
equipment, musical instruments, people and engravings on
walls. All this was distributed on the donkey's body in
spaces of dark colors in contrast with light ones. I
used the color gold on the donkey's head to highlight
its intelligence, as the donkey has a unique mind that
enables him to create cognitive maps, which help it to
know the roads and places easily. The donkey is a
patient animal and has a great capability to endure.
