Collected Fragments Series:
This series was inspired by a quilt that Rabel’s paternal grandmother made for him. Intrigued by the compositional grid, he printed, cut, stained and rearranged ancient Assyrian reliefs. The resulting tapestry of color and shape create a fresh perspective on an ancient culture. The composition with the black cross is in remembrance of his paternal grandmother. Rabel left some areas void of pattern and color to represent the ongoing cultural destruction in Iraq.
