The frisking of the soldier represents ‘the dehumanisation of individuals as they are automatically assumed to be hostile based on their religion or ethnicity.’ The images are on the Palestinian side of the wall and include depictions of ‘what life could be like on the other side of the wall’. The placement of the work coincided with the opening of a Santa's Ghetto exhibition in Bethlehem, which was aimed at bringing people to the West Bank to see the situation there for themselves.
