The project of the Egyptian artist, Amal Kenawy, is dedicated to the problem of the relationship of man and his surrounding world
and the influences of violence on them. The walls of the military hospital are covered in fantastic images that tell us about the inner
world of man: his dreams and recollections. The walls, being a sign of an outer world, themselves become the embodiment of an
inner world. The relationship of these two worlds is defined, however, by an outer force violence.
