Rumooz Al Sa'a 3 Sabahan (The Symbol of Time, 3 in the Morning)

The second work Rumooz Al Sa'a 3 Sabahan is a very rare composition as the artist moves away from his warm palette and incorporates the serene colours of the Gulf Sea, inspired by his walks to the beach from the Khatib residence. At the top of the composition are two creatures, a recurring motif in the artist's works from the beginning of the Lebanese civil war in the mid-1970s; these beasts often served as symbols for the politicians, who sought to censor the artist's expression.
