THE FORGOTTEN WALL
Muhaned Taha
A wall protects and secures , and what is meant here is morality , ethics and respect . These central to Iraqi culture values have faded away in recent years with the growing distance between the old and the new generation . Elderly people are disappearing with their experience , but how can we keep and protect the beautiful part of their values ?
Walls have two sides and are often considered as a symbol of division . The Forgotten Wall by Muhaned Taha is representing the opposite : solidarity and social cohesion . The bricks stand for individuals that live together and care for each other . Passing away , they don › t fall down , but fly to heaven . In Tahas AR animation bricks lift up and leave irreversible gaps in the social wall that questions the future of traditions and values .
