A site-specific installation project developed in the Kef governorate, Tunisia, in partnership with the Interference Young Masters Program along with Museum lab (a cultural organization based in Kef).
The work has been displayed to the public in several monuments and sites in Kef as part of the Kif El festival.

The entire work is located in a botanical park and projected on the wall of Lella Laaej a way (saint) of Kef.

The experimental artistic process was composed of various elements, which included two overhead projectors, background music and a Kanoun (the traditional smell of by bkhour made by heating the charcoal).
