Fallujah 2005

"Fallujah" (2005) by Siah Armajani is an installation that critiques the ongoing war in Iraq. The piece consists of a glass cube, a black wooden framework, and a variety of objects and images, creating a caged and fragile structure suggestive of a damaged home. Armajani's use of domestic items like a rocking chair, a door, and a toy horse alludes to the civilian casualties and displaced families resulting from the conflict. The work's title further emphasizes the artist's commentary on the consequences of the war in Fallujah, a city that was heavily affected by the fighting.
