< back
Sculpture.
Relief in white Carrara marble
Dimensions: 36.6 x 19.6 inches.

This Carrara Marble relief is based on an original in which an AK47 shot gun is represented with arabic letters spelling the words “Holy War”. In this case, the arabic letters where replaced with the words Chiquita Banana, a referent to the US colonial interventions to Central America during the second half of the 20th Century.
