Using a ready-made icon for Magritte with a modification of its basic idea from an apple to a grenade in the mouth - where people in general and the Iraqi in particular had the skill of pulling the safety nail through the mouth. This painting created an analogy that corresponds to the bite of Adam's apple, the fall of Newton's apple, and even coming across Apple’s company apple, up until Magritte’s apple that was replaced by the grenade, because it is no longer a subject in a time of death and desolation. Accordingly, the damage of the traffic sign and the perforation with the bullets of others were a reflection of destruction.
