DEMOCRACY HAS FALLEN 2023

The physical removal of the word "Democracy" from the wall symbolizes a palpable rupture within the system—serving as both a commentary on the fragility of democratic principles and a reflection on the challenges faced by democratic societies.

Political artworks often provoke viewers to contemplate the state of society, question authority, and consider the consequences of political decisions. In this case, Halbouni’s installation invites reflection on the concept of democracy, its vulnerability, and the potential repercussions of its erosion.

The use of color, typography, and the physical arrangement of the letters enhances the overall impact, guiding interpretation and amplifying the work’s underlying message.
