A Short Story in the Eyes of Hope

Overview

This animation centres around photographs of the artist's father, Abdulhussain Kwaish. The text describes different moments in his life, from his time in the army to a period living impoverished with unrealised dreams. Overlaying the film are the traditional burial prayers sung during Abdulhussain's funeral in Al-Najaf, a holy city in Iraq with the world's largest cemetery.
