Gulam

The Pawn or Soldier is a coin which is most effected. The game of Chess is all about the King. The game goes on until the King is safe. All the coins work hard to just save the King and usually the first casualty in the game is the Pawn. Nobody cares how many and when the pawn is sacrificed. It is as if the Pawn is just there for sacrifice.
This painting of mine is a dedication to this common and humble coin, the pawn. Gulam is a Urdu word for slave.
