The work is based on a manipulation Sher made by blending an old map of Torino with maps of the Old City of Jerusalem. It depicts, among other things, a wall that surrounds Torino, much like the wall that surrounds Jerusalem. In both cities, the wall was originally built for protection, and eventually became a symbol for separation of interests and religions. The work also alludes to the symbols used by warriors, crusaders and pilgrims.
