Falling Angel No. 2 by Bashar Alhroub
Bashar Alhroub (b. Jerusalem, 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of identity, faith, and displacement within the Palestinian experience. In this work, an angelic figure appears to fall toward a crowded cityscape, framed by a stark yellow sun. Below, the dense buildings suggest a Palestinian landscape, calm yet complex in its layered history. The scene carries quiet religious undertones, aligning with the kind often present in Bashir Makhoul’s work, where the sacred and political subtly intertwine. Alhroub’s image feels both divine and unsettling—a reflection on descent, exile, and the struggle to find meaning in a fractured place.
