The work Rags, 2009, is a good example of the artist’s social commitment, denouncing the lack of freedom of press in Tunisia, which is influenced and controlled by the government. Crushed newspapers put over black ink buckets perfectly symbolize the lack of clarity of the press in this country. As the artist says: "You can wring out the Tunisian press and water won’t come out."
