An art project by Ali & Mohamed Jabaly

In the light of all the challenges and circumstances surrounding people and the siege imposed place, human, and the lack of freedom of movement between the inside and the outside world of Gaza. The art project is reflecting an image of the situation of young people towards life, by linking the personal space of the artist in the reality that he lives and embodied his internal state of absolute psychological and physical siege that he experiences and link it to the place. The main idea of our art project is to break the boundaries throughout the convergence of colors and image through the joint artistic production between the two artists’ brothers and the mutual developing of the artworks remotely and the embodiment and description by bringing the picture closer to reality.
