Victory Soaring Above Tyranny - Ibrahim Abusitta

The image is a piece of illustrative artwork. The work is a drawing of red marker on white paper. The paper has frayed edges. The image consists of hundreds of red lines, arranged in a pattern not unlike hair. Short, imperfect red lines flow in a multitude of directions. Towards the top of the image, there is a clearing of red lines, big enough to fit a handwritten cursive message. The message reads "if i just hop onto any old regular train it'll get me home."

The painting is called "Just Spiritual Things: A N8V Still Life".
