In our contemporary society‭, ‬in perpetual motion‭, ‬cultures are constantly redefined‭. ‬As a result‭, ‬when a novelty comes up against a tradition‭, ‬it causes conflicts‭. ‬The equilibrium is restored only after its complete assimilation‭. ‬The motif presented here reflects the superposition of two cultures‭. ‬The first‭, ‬Oriental‭, ‬appears in the form of a labyrinth of Islamic figures‭. ‬When the‭ ‬novelty arrives‭, ‬the image is scattered in a chaotic pattern that abolishes borders and rules‭. ‬Checkpoint tells precisely this story of the meeting of cultures‭. ‬This is even more stressed by the expression Bidoun Fawassel‭, ‬which in popular Arabic means‭ ‬“without stop”‭, ‬“without boundaries”‭. ‬Both concepts make the voice of a whole generation‭, ‬willing to go beyond its culture in order to improve it at the cost of serious challenges‭.‬
