FROM DESTRUCTION COMES CREATION

I came across a fascinating piece of art today on a photo shoot. It was a large munition casing from World War I. The Syrian artist collected the discharged brass shell from a battlefield and inlaid it with copper and silver patterns and Arabic text. From destruction comes creation. (it's hard to tell from the photos, but this is a large round with a diameter of four inches)
