From the artist:

"Lately what bothers me the most is people migrating as refugees to other countries. Afghans do not want to carry their nationality anymore, they leave their country and travel to other countries, most of them die along the way, lose their families, nobody welcomes them to their country, and people look at them with pity, it really bothers me.

This series is about those Afghans who migrate to other countries, Afghans who don’t have a nationality anymore, who are from nowhere, and those Afghan who seek security and peace. While working on my last artworks, almost 80% of the time I think about my people who are seeking peace."
