Nizar Ali Badr’s work – comprising almost 2,000 pieces – created in recent years represents what is happening in Syria, ranging from the corrupt parties responsible to the religious believers and everything which has today led the country towards “ignorance”. These pieces are not for sale; Nizar Ali Badr has decided to keep them as a message for the next generations, especially as he never finishes a piece without his “tears washing his stones of sadness and pain caused by the destruction and chaos existing in the country”. • • The sculptor ensures the stones come specifically from Mount Zaphon: “These stones can shout, and their voices are louder than the bullets. Unfortunately, every time I finish a sculpture of assembled stones, I have to destroy it, because affixing stones with special glue onto special base materials has now become much too expensive. All I can do at present is take photos of my fleeting works of art: that’s my way of immortalising them. So when I create a stone sculpture, I know for certain that there is nothing here for it to be kept. It will, without any doubt, soon be destroyed, just like the Buddhist sand mandalas. As such, my work possesses an inherent ephemeral character, which requires an ability to detach from material objects and understand the temporary nature of everything in life”. • Filmed by : Adeline Chenon Ramlat for the association Syria.Art • https://en.syriaartasso.com • Full interview : https://syriancreativehavens.com/port...
