The concept behind the work:
Every human being’s life represents a series of conflicts. Whether these are internal conflicts with the human soul or disputes with others, all of these conflicts are giving every person the motivation to make the maximum effort to keep the goodwill of survival and life. These conflicts are the main fuel that helps them to sustain life. When the human being became a caveman the biggest worry was in the ground, There were obstacles, problems, and surprises as he tried to overcome the blood and defeat. Then, after thousands of years, was added the prevention of the evil of his fellow human beings. These conflicts may be between good and evil, success and failure, or between science and ignorance.
The idea is to refer to these conflicts symbolically through some of the contradictory words from different languages.

Describing the action:
The viewer is based on work where groups of words are displayed in an animated overlapping manner, projected on the audience in a dark room, using 3 Colors (Blue, Green, and Red), These colors can create White & Black, which Both colors are types of conflicts.
The viewer must enter the display area to react with the Projection on the wall and bodies, giving viewers a sense of each one of them is as part of these conflicts, making the viewers interact with the artist.
The white paper dolls outstanding express human at birth and death, so there are no conflicts within the human psyche, Candles track on the ground, which represent the way we live from birth to death is surrounded by conflicts and contradictions. Human word is translated into multi-languages and pasted in the walls around because this conflict is related mainly to people with themselves & each other.
Scenes + space = visual scenes interactive.
