Tears of Petrol: دموع النفط
Symbolizing Petrol being at the helm of the Gulf War, causing the death of innocent people and devastation to the people of Kuwait.
Hence, the significance of the word نفط i.e. petrol is written here in calligraphy in the form of a barrel with tears dripping within a background of blood drops embodying the lives taken. The gold is exemplifying the denial.
