The Arab in the Desert

The painting that inspired this is called 'A Struggle in the Desert'

and by current world events

The Idea

Slow but Consistant Old Arab strolling through the Desent with barrel (oil?) on back.... seemingly alone, approached by fat obnoxios kid on moped with many comfort features, Boy tries to persuade Arab to sell barrel, finally tries to steal it..... but moped runs out of fuel, Arab is seen chucking barrel into a very deep pit

The disadvantages

Mixed reactions from colleagues, lecturers unimpressed.

The references

Wow, the guy on the bottom left is such a cool character!
