Rayyane Tabet located his  `Fossils`` on a roof of a building in Amman. These eight  cement suitcases contains  personal objects of the artist. The suitcases preserve and  protect the objects  and on the same time they made the objects invisible and unreachable. What  attract my attention is the fact that all the shutters of the widows in this photo are closed.  Maybe the houses are the same like the cement suitcases, preserve and  protect the people inside and at the same time make the city residents  invisible and unreachable.
