Original artwork description:

This painting is part of the triptych Life of Livorno, a city where the author spent 6 years and which is famous for its centuries-old multinationality, being a port city. The painting depicts one of the Tunisian youths of that time who arrived in large numbers to Europe and plunged into the night life of the urban jungle. He has only his youth, the memory of the purity and holiness of his mother, the innocence of a dove falling to the cat of night vice and a demonic instinct for survival. His breath and speech are poisonous flowers, and on his flesh is the inscription in Arabic "haram". Behind him is one of the city's bridges, under which a boat with the inscription "God" is quietly sailing away.
