In Palestine, cities close upon themselves, and the space between the old and the new is reduced to isolation. A massive wall stands as a mute force, obscuring vision and imposing its dominance on the landscape as if reshaping geography under a logic that allows no negotiation. Between two worlds—an ancient city on the edge of time and a new one striving to expand—walls become an impenetrable barrier, leaving the old city in the shadows of life, isolated like a faded image at the world's edge.
