Taqi Sabateen

 In Palestine, a spiritual relationship between the land, people and man-made structures on that land exists. The dialectical relationship between man and land comes through an understanding of what naturally exists on this land and how man has altered it. Whereas the balance between nature and people can lead to a good relationship; as soon as a person not observing that good relationship enters the scene, the good relationship is brutally sabotaged.  Under the pretext of modernization,  the sky is divided with electric wires extending to settlements on the tops of mountains surrounded by other wires in a takeover of the land; an appropriation of the sacred scene.
