Description
my favorite photomodels : Ziyad Al-Rabeh (Left) - Ayman Al-Saqa (Right)
assistants : Hamdi Al-Kawas - Nabeel Abu-shanab (R.I.P)
--------------
one of the concepts of the photo that it's telling a history .. the chess itself is equally divided between black and white .. so they are supposed to be equal , but what happened ? the whit people started the war with their knives and horses (knife on the table and horse in the hand) .. in the other hand you can see the black stones which didn't move yet (their move is a payback..with guns in the future)
finally you can notice that the red in the background stands for the war, fear and blood
one more thing , I'm not racist ! don't misunderstand me ^^"

So much meaning. It's like two sides of the coin figuring out what they're supposed to do.

This even surprised me, especially that I totally got stunned.

It's not hard to guess the winner.
At some point the Black will do again the same mistake.
Instead of real freedom and his own house he will ask a free room in the house of the White trying to apply different rules than the rest of the house. So he will end up to build a "no white man" area.

seems like these two understood these over 2500 years old words.

Disturbing, thought-provoking and there is an undercurrent of dark humor. Β Also, very well staged and the lighting against the shadowy background is perfect. Β I kept thinking of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" when I first saw this one. Β Great work!

It's just- no.
Sometimes I hate it when people portray blacks and whites being enemies and rivals.
There IS a lot of friendly relations with blacks and whites.

Okay then....if that's how you choose to take it. I don't think of Blacks and Whites as rivals, and I think a lot of people need to stop thinking of it that way, but I think this image is really interesting and thought-provoking. As a black and native american girl dating a really sweet white boy (sounds irrelevant, I know), I'd like to think I have an eye on both views, and honestly, while I feel people need to stop thinking of ANY race as rivals, and stop acting like it, people need to stop being oversensitive too and allow themselves an intelligent thought or two. This image isn't saying all people feel there's a rivalry and enemies, neither this image or the artist is saying that everyone is like that, and I really think your not being very open-minded about that.

No need to add the "I'm not racist" part. Nothing racist about this picture. It is wonderful. I could see the story it was implying the moment I passed by it.

I'ts amazing, how everything has a reason, you have a lot of talent, excellent conceptual photo

While I truly feel this is an amazing piece, with everything that it includes, my one problem is your artist's comments. "White people" shouldn't alone be blamed for ANYTHING. We are ALL to blame, as the human race, for everything. While I do not personally find your comment racist, there are a GREAT many who would see what you wrote, and automatically assume that you're racist. They would be wrong, but that won't stop them from doing it. We are ALL human, we ALL make the SAME mistakes.
However, I am not one of those, as I said, and I both see and feel the power this piece has. Well done, both in scope and in execution.
