It looks a scene straight out of the serial Planet of the Apes media sci-fi franchise in which talking apes have the upper hand over human beings. The trinity of gorillas has benefited more from their unity than fighting among themselves like humans. Their colony seems self-sufficient and they have even learnt the art of making fire, of ‘cooking’ fish over a trestle, something the King of the Apes in the Disney cartoon, Jungle Book, failed to get from Mowgli. Even the chicken is roasted. They are definitely enjoying the feast, don’t care about what’s happening on the other side, where smokes and fire are rising from the ruins, the damaged sites due to war, conflict of interest. The artist possibly hinted on the meddling of affairs by the West on Middle East region, particularly the Palestine issue. This is one work which Ismail Awi stays closer to ‘reality’, for one given more to comicdom fantasy. This work was shown in The Young Contempo Showcase II at Galeri Prima in December 2017.
