I state my discontent with power-based politics and with the decaying values of our society. I denounce what I perceive as daily living violence, military might and control, prevailing lies, derailing standards, eroding freedom, disappearing human rights. My prints aim to say loud what I believe in, also what I find wrong, what I consider is preventing us from living a better world, the world of justice and peace I dream of, said Ghosn about his exhibit,
