wrapped with wheels symbolizes energy, the continuation of life, and the victory of civilization.
In Nawar's latest collection "Sniper" 2021, he draws eloquently the dark mass of Deversoir, as
if he sees from his present moment his position as he hunts his goals in 1968, more than fifty
years after that moment. The details are present in amazing clarity and even as if they gained
a presence purer and sharpness. The night lighting is presented along with the two sides of the
silhouette forehead, and Nawar's superior ability in the drawing appears in his formation of the
drawn blocks and their details in different degrees of opacity and illumination, with a very subtle
transition between light and shadows. Despite the prevailing darkness, we find the details of
the two sites: the hills, the barracks, the broken camouflaged horizon, the watchtowers, and the
calm of the night tinged with caution and anticipation. The darkness of the two fronts is only cut
by a rogue beam of a sniper rifle that emerges from a small luminous hill adorned with wheels of
Nawar's, which is repeated in his artworks as a symbol of the victory of life. In his collection, there
are many angles of sniping, and the direction of the rogue beam varies, as is the difference in its
location each time of the fifteen sniping times that he completed.
In a collection on coronavirus 2021, Nawar returns to his black silhouette that reminds us of the
heads of the enemies that he used to see in a silhouette behind the enemies' berm and in the
heart of which the wheels of life revolve in conflict with the circular shape with heads. Corona is
the same enemy that wants to prey on life. There are black, wrinkled, mixed faces that contend
or blend in. The shape of the virus surrounds the body, while it resists it at times, attacks it, and
wraps around it at other times. The conflict block tops the middle of the picture, but it is fragment-
ed from the inside through black flats and solids interspersed with a precise white line connected
or interrupted in various directions that define the path of the eye and serves the centrality of the
composition and may penetrate the white space in the background of the block. The groups of
small linear squares are spread in the formations that may take the form of a fence surrounding
the top of the composition of rectangular, square, or triangular slides overlap it.
