"Walls are never neutral. They divide and enclose, but they also absorb, accumulate, and remember. They become surfaces where silence is broken, where resistance takes form, and where memory refuses erasure. In Marks of return, Salma Dib positions the wall as a living surface of resistance. Her works emerge from the raw, layered language of street walls,urgent, provisional, and defiant in the face of disappearance. In Palestine, walls are not inert structures; they have become unavoidable canvases, inscribed with acts of testimony that transform stone and concrete into collective archives of defiance."
