An edited portrait of American rapper Tupac Shakur and abu nasser, depicted as a traditional Arabian emir wearing a white ghutra and black agal. Captions above poke fun at how legendary historical warriors and poets look melancholic and gentle when drawn in Western Orientalist books.
Mocks the contrast between epic historical descriptions of Arab figures and their strange, melancholic depictions in European Orientalist drawings.
