Walls

"Walls" is an overused word, a powerful image, a concrete reality.

Walls represent fear, hatred, exclusion, rejection, imprisonment, repulsion, denial…
Yet they are not just symbols — they are real. They are physical and can be experienced tangibly.
Walls stand between people and where they want to be; they are the concrete structures that won’t let them in — or won’t let them out… The intention here is to present a collection of personal stories about the feeling or experience of walls, interwoven as if forming a Universal History of Walls.
Humanity’s collective memory seems deter

mined to immortalize the physical barriers it has built to maintain distance between its parts.
We continue to struggle with the Other, on the other side of the wall, always afraid that they might want to harm us.

There must be something fundamentally wrong with the way people perceive the other side.
