Khaled's statement on his Donkey Sculpture for the CARAVAN project:
Red Lines is a play on two linguistic puns: "red line/s" which is a post revolution term referring to censorship/prohibition of discussing certain political topics on the one hand, and on the other hand it is the name for the Zebra in Egyptian slang language: "homar mekhattat," which literally means "lined-donkey" or "donkey with lines."
My donkey takes reference from the zebra through the use of striations of red and black that simulate zebra skin patterns, and at the same time those are the colors of the Egyptian flag, alongside the raw white color of the resin donkey. The project puts in question notions of censorship, taboos and freedom of thought.
