The mourners
Alaa Awad
Mural at the American University of Cairo, 2012
The mourners turn the earth upside down. The coffin is a mosaic, as is the door. Above the Ba Bird the connection between the two worlds is made, which are received by beautiful flying deities with candles. The goddess Nut frames the scene and protects all worlds. Bottom right, black flowers instead of blue lotus are offered as a dark symbol of mourning.
