GOD IS GREAT 5

Just a coincidence.

GOD IS GREAT 5 reveals a classic nude model in a stark shadow due to the side lighting. The picture is framed from her naked breasts up to her blond hair and full sensual lips, upon which she gently rests her fingers and glossy nails. The strong contrast created by the lighting and dark background makes her erotically charged figure appear even more glamorous. However, this familiar representation of women, seen so often in fashion ads and pop culture, is disturbed by random splashes of paint that seem to have been thrown by chance. On closer inspection, we see that the green and yellow splashes are very similar to the Arabic characters for Allah Uh Akbar (God is great). Is that intentional or just a coincidence…?
