The Palestinian artist lives in Tamra in Israel. This sculpture shows a man in contemporary clothes, with an archaic weapon – a sling. The work may be an allusion to the conflict that is currently taking place in Ahmed Canaan’s local area. This image also brings to mind the biblical struggle of David against Goliath. David the shepherd – although physically weaker than Goliath, the most formidable of Philistine warriors – succeeded in defeating his opponent using a sling.
