The Syrian refugee/ Fame, Just like Marilyn Monroe? السورية اللاجئة/ شهرة، مثل مرلين مونرو

Can an Elderly Syrian Refugee be a center of attention??

In this collage, I exchange elements of Andy Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe with that of an elderly Syrian refugee; with the hope that she and her status are noticed…

Fame, Just Like Marilyn Monroe is a set of posters/booklet and a video:

شهرة، مثل مرلين مونرو
