I like this one a lot. You say it's a mixed media and... magazine spreads?

I wonder at the choice of Arabic text, and I wonder how you intend to relate its meaning to the subject matter of the piece as a whole... because how does "they were given a mind and a conscience" relate to playing backgammon at a coffee shop? I must say that the relieving expressions on their faces communicate a sense of conscience and sensitivity towards others... but backgammon? It resembles idleness!

This is really a powerful series. I agree, your color and value handling really sets that mood you're going for. All three images are striking, beautiful, and unsettling-- it's something in that combination that lets you really absorb the meaning. Very nicely done.

I think this is my favorite of the three because of how you handled the values and hues on the men's faces.

Cool, thanks. I think overall this one was the closest to what I was shooting for, so I'm glad it's working for you.
