About the design

The work represents some Arab/Muslims' unfortunate position according to Maslow's pyramid of basic needs. It illustrates how these kind of women are basically hanging on the first step of the basic needs. In addition to that, the woman is represented as a table game stone, called "Dama." This game is well known locally, and it basically represents full control of men over women where I live.

About the designer

I am Kuwaiti 30 years old male. My major field is graphic design. I love photography and I am enthusiastic about typography. I've been doing graphic design for 11 years based on practical knowledge and self taught knowledge. I have a bachelor degree of Management and am concentrating in Marketing from Kuwait University since 2004. I recently decided to earn another bachelor in graphic design and I am 3 weeks away from graduation. I strongly believe that graphic designers should be a business man, problem solver, and social activist.
