🖼️ In this striking work, Egyptian cartoonist Nabil El-Solami (1941–1987) delivers a powerful metaphor: the familiar “V for Victory” sign ✌️ is transformed into two matchsticks, symbolizing the fragility and combustibility of peace and triumph 🔥.
🌍 El-Solami, one of Egypt’s and the Arab world’s pioneering cartoonists, was born in Aswan and began his career in the 1960 with Al-Gomhuria newspaper, later moving to East Germany where he published in leading magazines such as Eulenspiegel and exhibited internationally.
