Life in wartime is documented by the photographic eye in a visual book and a light exhibition by the artist Omar Malas, which was hosted by Al-Khanji Gallery this evening under the title (Eye of the Crow).

The three-day exhibition included 22 photographs as well as a visual book whose eighty pages contained pictures documenting the daily lives of a group of people while they were immersed in their worries of living in the city of Damascus.

The artist Omar Malas explained in a statement to SANA reporter that the exhibition documents and narrates the suffering of people in times of war, noting that he chose the crow because of its strength and intelligence and what is said about it of indications and legends.

The plastic artist Ibrahim Daoud indicated that the idea of ​​the exhibition is unique to tell the stories of the lives of a number of simple and poor people while they are preoccupied with their daily concerns.

Among the visitors was Mustafa Abdel Rahman, who indicated that he was affected by the displayed pictures, noting that they were characterized by the coherence of ideas and a clear and wonderful reflection of life in wartime.

While Natalie Bahadi said: "The exhibition was distinguished by being different from other exhibitions held in the city of Aleppo, and that Malas was able to reflect scenes from daily life, so the footage was deep and realistic."

It is noteworthy that Omar Malas was born in Damascus in 1983. He studied audiovisual directing in Paris and filmed many films and documentaries. He held his first photographic exhibition (House with a View) in 2018 in Denmark, and (Ein Al-Ghorab) is the second photographic project and opened in Damascus in 2021.
