Op de foto van Abdullah Abdul & Masun Hamo staan twee variaties van hun sculptuur Women from Rojava afgebeeld, die deel uitmaakt van een lopende installatie in cultuurcentrum Tev-Çand in Amude, in het kanton Cezîre van de zelfstandige regio Rojava. Net als in het andere ruimtelijke werk van Abdul & Hamo worden er in deze serie stenen gebruikt die afkomstig zijn van verwoeste archeologische Mesopotamische vindplaatsen en die in dit geval een nieuwe bestemming krijgen in een cultureel centrum in Rojava.
