Sketch (sculpture installation,drawing, oil paint). “Visitation”. From @garancelecaisne “Operation Caesar” : Caesar: “ I was simply terrified. The things I had seen during the day would pass before my eyes. I could see my brothers/sisters as one of the corpses”. @HolocaustMuseum February 7, 2021

Sketch based on #CaesarPhotos. “The Dr. drew up 24 criteria to describe the 27k photos of the dead: skin lesions,severe torture, eyes gouged out, chemical burns, whip marks, broken limbs, strangulation..”From @garancelecaisne “Operation Caesar”. @HolocaustMuseum @FADELABDULGHANY February 5, 2021

Sketch based on #CaesarPhotos. “At the foot of the presidential palace (#Assad), almost everyday, new bodies arrive, which the soldiers will learn to drag, carry, and sort.” From @garancelecaisne “Operation Caesar”. @HolocaustMuseum @FADELABDULGHANY February 5, 2021

Sketch from eyewitness photo. A young #Syrian boy, his broken body found floating in the #Quweiq River #Aleppo 29 January 2013. Mass murderers like #Assad hope that the passage of time will somehow soften their crimes. It is up to us to seek #JUSTICE for these #WarCrimes February 1, 2021

Sketch based on eyewitness photo. “Today marks the 8th anniversary of the #Quweiq River Massacre. On 29 January 2013 the river overflowed with more than 220 corpses, including women and children, being dumped from #Assad controlled Aleppo. “ via @JensHittrien January 30, 2021

Sketch. Today for #HolocaustRemembranceDay I told my students about #Holocaust survivor @AlfredMunzer . As a baby, Alfred was given to a #Muslim #Indonesian family, who kept him safe from the #Nazis. Alfred has dedicated his life to speaking out against racism and hatred. January 28, 2021

Sketch from eyewitness photo. A few days ago this young life was stolen by the freezing, deplorable conditions in #refugee camps in #Idlib #Syria. If #Assad had not burned #Syria to ashes to prevent #Democracy, this precious baby might be sleeping peacefully in a warm home. January 26, 2021

Sketch.This is an anti-Putin protest in #Yakutsk, in east #Siberia, in -50° C (-58° F). Imagine how angry you’d have to be to go out in that kind of weather just to demand freedom and justice in your own country. We should be that angry too about #Putin !Via @KenanRahmani January 25, 2021
