When it comes to life, Iraq is the first and the final frontier for all humanity. This is a fact no maters how many invaders will take over and no matter how many pieces will be cut off its holy body. Iraq is like Jesus, can and will resurrect once again strong and united, simply because Iraq is the core of the ancient world, and the core for any new beginning.

Iraq is the base for the world’s conflicts and the foundation for any future solution. Iraq was and still is Biblically and scientifically, the land of destruction (The Great Flood) and the land for peace and prosperity. Overall, Iraq is the Cradle of Civilization and the land of firsts. Throughout its long, rich, and deep history, Iraq has proven time and time again that Life Wins!

Enclosed is one unique painting from the upcoming art exhibition (Iraq … Love, Death, & Beyond) by the prominent Chaldean artist Amer Hanna Fatuhi. The painting depicts, through two pieces, the black frame covered with pictograph symbols that represent death, and the other piece that represents the date palm tree, symbol of everlasting life in ancient Mesopotamia.Finding its way throw the frame (the symbol of death) heading for a new life!

Below is an excerpt form the poem entitled (Life Wins) by Amer Hanna Fatuhi.

A towering Palm-tree
They took her once
To the whorehouse’s colors
And to the house of the words’ prostitution
She didn’t bend
