'tin soldiers' is an installation which depicts the nine armies that were implicated in, or subject to, acts of war in today's middle east. the pieces are produced in numbers proportional to those of active troops in 2010. each of the featured armies are cast from the same mould and hand-painted in the military outfits of egypt, iran, iraq, israel, jordan, lebanon, palestine, syria and turkey. a total of 12,235 soldiers at a scale of 1:200 are arranged in a systematic platform, in a way acting as a multistage exploration
of the results of the instrumentalizing of individuals through political and economic agendas.
