The artist known as ‘Syria’s Banksy’ struggles to survive in Idlib – The National
Abu Malek Al Shami stands on a mound of rubble, remnants of a bombed-out building in war-shattered Idlib, gazing at his artwork on a collapsed concrete slab.
The silhouette of a young man, his head down and carrying a small bag of possessions tied to a stick, walks through an empty landscape.
Hands stretch up from the ground, as if to pull him back. Are they beckoning him to join them in death? Do they represent a longing to return to a place of displacement?
