Fallujah 2005

"Fallujah," a 2005 piece by Siah Armajani, is a compelling and complex assemblage. The artwork features a glass structure with a tilted roof that leans over a base, suggesting a fallen or collapsed building. Inside, fragmented objects like a rocking horse, a door, and a lamp create a sense of domesticity, juxtaposed with the architectural ruin. This work, likely a commentary on the destruction and displacement caused by war, invites viewers to consider the fragility of human life and the resilience of the human spirit.
