A youth sits by the “Saving Iraqi Culture” monument at the Mansour district of Iraq's capital Baghdad during a severe dust storm on April 20, 2022. The monument, commissioned in 2010 and designed by Iraqi sculptor Mohammed Ghani Hikmat, depicts a broken cylinder seal with cuneiform script reading “writing began here” with hands and arms attempting to support it from falling.
