Description
Their mission, sanctioned by al-mubadarat or "the initiative", remains shrouded in secrecy. In a city teetering on the edge of oppression, their presence signals a disruption, a ripple in the fabric of power. Driven by an unyielding commitment to justice and retribution, they both embark on this journey. The path they tread is treacherous, fraught with danger and uncertainty.

Amidst the chaos, Sara and Layla remain steadfast. They draw strength from the unspoken unity of their comrades, other women who operate discreetly in the alleys and corridors of the city, each contributing their unique skills to the collective struggle. The untamed spirit of al-mubadarat pulses through their veins, fueling their resolve to overcome the obstacles that lie in their path.

The unfolding events are an intricate tapestry of risks and sacrifices, as they navigate the tumultuous landscape of Future Baghdad. With each step they take, the echoes of resistance reverberate through the city, reminding all that al-mubadarat will not falter, and that the battle for freedom and justice rages on.

Concept illustration for a series I'm working on under the theme of arabpunk. I'm really inspired by the idea of infusing cyberpunk elements within cultural contexts and backgrounds different from the usual big American/European or Japanese/Asian metropolis which we are all too familiar with. I like the idea of bringing cyberpunk into a more exotic cultural context. So here is an example of that, taking place in the shadowy streets, empty open air markets and on the rooftops of future Baghdad, where a bunch of tech savvy Iraqi youth are engaged in a low intensity conflict against a fascist theocratic elite.
