《the 2Vth》
2011年埃及發生大型民主化示威運動後，他用蓋伊．福克斯（Guy Fawkes）融合古埃及法老圖坦卡門的形象，拿掉法老王皇冠，創造出本次展出的《The 2Vth》，以表現這場屬於埃及年輕人的革命，並加入圖坦卡門墓所發現的寶藏盒，展現對埃及文化及埃及傳統藝術的尊敬。
After the large-scale democratic demonstration in Egypt in 2011, Shahin combined Guy Fawkes's image and that of the famous Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun without the royal crown, to create The 2Vth showcased in this exhibition. The work expresses his view on this revolution ignited by the young generations in Egypt; and the addition of the treasure chest found in the pharaoh’s tomb shows his respect to his native Egyptian culture and traditional art.
