I can't find much information about Nizar Ali Badr. He is a Syrian artist from the port city of Latakia and may or may not still be in that country. He makes sculptures by arranging stones into scenes, often tender or gut-wrenching images of family life. They are simple and minimalist, but are also sharp narratives that are easily read. You can find more photos of his work at Kedistan (translation).
