The antropomorphic city of Jerusalem. All times occuring simultaneously.

The Dome of the rock, the head. Al-Aqsa, the shoulder.
Its left arm, the mount of olives and the crusaders approaching a city guarded by Saladin.
Its right arm, A man carrying a cross towards the future site where a church will be built.
The Wailing Wall its chest.
In a knee, the tower of David attacked by Nebuchadnezzar II.
In the other Titus sacking the second temple.
Moses and the Arch of the covenant entering the city through the Jaffa gate.

Graphite and digital color.
Part of an ongoing series about cities.
