About the idea of the exhibition, the artist said that it stems from the ancient archaeological monuments that tell the legends and history of our land, all the way to the war on Syria, explaining that when we watch any of these works, we feel moaning and pain through the broken, curved and curved lines of the paintings that make the viewer feel pain, injustice and turmoil, it reflects our feelings in a difficult period that our country went through.

 

Ashti refers to his adoption of a style approaching epic art and integrating between the lines of architecture and the human being, where the lines of the paintings express the reality we live in in difficult times.
