In this mural, Maha transforms the winning horse into a symbol of resilience and unexpected triumph. The moment the horse stands victorious becomes a metaphor for the forthcoming victory of Arab communities.
She evokes a verse from her recent series Qadimto by the poet Soud Abu Mailesh, her father, which translates to:
“I came into this world, only to depart. As if my coming was merely to pack my bags.”
This verse reflects the inner voice and awareness of the people, a readiness for change and the preparation for transformation. Here, the horse embodies strength, roots, and certainty, capturing a moment of unexpected victory with calm clarity, reflecting endurance and awareness.
