• Resumen

  • Oputu recounts professor Fotini Christia's experience in Antakya Turkey. In Dec 2012, while researching an article about women in the Syrian revolution, Christia met Mohammed, a Free Syrian Army fighter who was visiting comrades in the hospital. Mohammed was from Idlib and spoke to her eloquently about his life and experiences, and his hopes for a free Syria. She ended up with three hours of material that didn't fit into her Foreign Affairs article. Looking for the best way to present Mohammed's story, Christia decided to turn it into a piece of op-art, with the help of artist Thalia Chantziara.
