Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
Aleppo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Its Citadel is one of the oldest and largest castles in the world, and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Citadel is a microcosm of the city's long and complex history, with Ayyubid and Ottoman structures, as well as remains of a temple dating all the way to the Bronze Age. Until conflict erupted in 2011, it received hundreds of thousands of visitors, many of whom were from outside the region.
Artist's Note:
Viewing part of this site through an ancient archway gave me the sensation of walking through the ages to view these important remnants of the past.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
Amina, a Kurdish Syrian from Aleppo, spent five years with her family as refugees in Malaysia before being resettled in White Plains, NY. "I want to say how important it is to find someone who helps you in a new country, to start a new life, after many years of suffering. While we had lost everything in our country, it is great to find someone who stands beside you and helps you to have a better life and to live in peace."
