This work shows the ruins of the war in Yemen, a baby being rescued after the devastating earthquake in Nepal, topless pearl divers from Japan, Willie, the half burried lady from Samuel Beckett's play Happy Days and the Greek crisis, among other elements of everyday situations and crisis. The top right section of the work resembles a ray of light and accumulates the debris of various events and history. The work is also activated through the candle positioned on the wooden shelf, which is carrying domestic items such as fake fruits and table cloth. Haerizadeh first produced this work in 2009 and continued to work on it, during which it has been shown at the Kunsthalle Zurich and ICA Boston, among other venues.
