As with many works by Fatin
Al-Shawaibi, this work belongs to
abstract painting. This time it is a
depiction of an Arabic city during
the Arab spring; the new spirit
that cities like Tunis, Cairo, Sana'a
and Tripoli share after the success
of their revolution. The green
color with all of its interpretations
and significance in Arabic visual
culture extends in between the
narrow streets, intimate old
houses, and beneath the pointed
arches of the city as if life were
coming back after long absence.

Proud to
be Arab
