La (No): A Call to Justice and Unity

"La (No): A Call to Justice and Unity" is an artwork that celebrates the power of poetry to inspire change and challenge injustice. Through its use of lines from poems that reject domination and terrorism, and call for honesty and fairness, this piece invites the viewer to consider the role of individual and collective action in building a more just and peaceful world.

At the heart of the artwork are poems by poets who challenge the forces that seek to divide and oppress us, and remind us of our shared humanity and common goals. These poems inspire us to stand up for justice and unity, and to reject the hypocrisy and double standards that stand in the way of progress and harmony.

Measuring 150cm x 120cm and crafted from acrylic on paper, "La (No): A Call to Justice and Unity" is an engaging and thought-provoking artwork that invites the viewer to consider the role of poetry in shaping a better world. It currently resides with a private collector in Morocco, where it continues to inspire and engage the viewer's imagination.

Here are a few more examples of poems that explore similar themes:

"We are all in this together, no matter where we stand
We must reject domination, and the forces that seek to divide
We must reject terrorism, in all its forms and guises
We must condemn corruption, and all the ways it poisons our land"

"We must be honest, and reject hypocrisy and double standards
We must speak out for justice, and demand equality for all
We must work together, to build a world of peace and harmony
We must stand up for what is right, and never let injustice stand"

Tughra: Whispers of Wisdom: An Artistic Tribute to Abul Ala Al Ma’arri

In his artwork titled "Tughra," Ali Omar Ermes incorporates a powerful verse from the philosopher-poet Abul Ala Al Ma’arri. The verse speaks to the idea that when one speaks of the truth, they must do so softly and with caution, as the truth can often be unpopular or unwelcome. In contrast, when one speaks of things that are implausible or untrue, they can do so loudly and without fear of reprisal. This observation is particularly relevant in today's world, where it is often easier to speak out and make bold claims, regardless of their veracity.
