A story, an article, a play, and a journey, coming together in the form of a narrative sequence to monitor the violent repercussions on human life in Syria today, through a narrator who lives the war and siege and tells their stories in a Palestinian camp, so that the moment of the camp seems to be a summary of all previous catastrophes. It is a personal and collective biography at the same time, and an attempt to capture time as the camp sees it, that being who stepped down and whose voice we no longer hear, even though the camps never stop multiplying and multiplying.
Raed Wahsh works as editor of the cultural page on the Ultrasound website [2] and has recently participated in a number of literary festivals in Europe, such as the Berlin International Poetry Festival.
