Ayman El Hakea
View artist portfolioThis simple drawing represents the daily life in a typical Egyptian sub-urban slum, where millions of poor people are crowded into mud-brick and tin houses. You may see through the drawing the exploding problem of overpopulation,poverty, garbage, sewage, sanitation, water-air-soil pollution, drug smuggling, smoking, crime, wronged attitudes, education, and chaos in general.
The absence of colors and the chaotic density in my image aim at attracting the attention of the watcher, to make his or her eyes be tired, so that they feel a real chaos that has to be prevented, encountered, eliminated, and changed into another sustainable environment.

wow! Great,
u r really great Ayman ,
keep the good work
May be they are poor, May be they have a hungery mouth, but they got two hands.. they got a soul... wanna change..
good drawing... so real..
Excellent drawing. It represents how poor and unspoiled some countries are and how spoiled we are. The people living in those areas are happy as long as they even have a home, regardless of how small and poor conditioned it is. Here we are in our homes grumbling about how small it is. These people treasure their homes and keep them tidy. To them, being able to keep a home tidy is a privlidge, to us, cleaning our rooms are one of the most dreaded chores.This peice of art makes me feel ashamed of how we act. It makes me feel fortunate to live in a house that is not too small and in a decent condition. It inspires me to change my naive ways and find a way to help these poor people here. Once, again, excellent drawing
Great work, it gives another dimension to the housing problem. We need a more humanized vision.......... keep on.
This drawing is a runner-up in the "poverty" contest!
Wow Ayman! Really awesome
