Safwat Saleem: Concerned, but Powerless
Concerned, but Powerless is artist Safwat Saleem's satirical response to the national political and cultural climate. Using repurposed vintage imagery, a clean design aesthetic, and his trademark wit, Saleem has created a series of brief, uncomfortable and nervous soliloquies that give voice to our inner struggles.
