Vulnerability

The Vulnerability Series is an exhibition by Syrian artist and refugee Abdalla Al Omari, taking prominent political figures out of their suits and putting them into the lives of the less fortunate.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, former President of Iran

Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany

Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria

Kim Jong-un, leader of North Korea

David Cameron, former British Prime Minister

Former French Presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy

Russian President, Vladimir Putin

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan

Barack Obama, former President of the United States

Abdalla Al Omari, a Syrian exile who was recently granted refugee status in Belgium, was "driven by his own experience of displacement" when creating "The Vulnerability Series", disarming them and "picturing them outside their positions of power".
