Crop of an illustration reimagining the lives of two Armenian women whose 2800-year-old remains were discovered in 2013 by Polish archaeologists from the University of Warsaw unearthing evidence of the destruction and capture of the metallurgy-famous ancient city of Metsamor by Argishti I (reigned 786-764 B.C.). He was the sixth known king of Urartu and the Biblical Kingdom of Ararat in the Armenian Highlands. During his reign, the boundaries of the state expanded to the Caucasus, the area of the modern Armenian capital, Yerevan. Many of his Urartu monuments stand today. The high-tension, Caravaggio-inspired tableau in this painting shows the women reacting to the bright opening of a door and presence of a potential threat offscreen. Holy Mount Ararat stands magnificently in the background. The lower town district, where the women were later found, burns as they attempt to keep calm. With this narrative series focused on recreating and restoring the memory of human remains found on excavation, I hope to do good by them and relate their experiences to those in the present. For more information on the wartime violence uncovered at Armenia's Metsamor:
