Description
Portrait of a screaming man's face. His mouth is wide open, and he has his hand to his chin. Bomb damaged buildings surround him, with black smoke emerging from the wreckage. The man depicted is mourning his wife and eight children whose bodies were still in the ruins in Basrah. Jet aircraft fly overhead.
