Pushing Boundaries. Mission accomplished in Ruseifa, Jordan.
A beautiful project by AptArt intending to raise awareness of gender issues in Arab countries. The artwork depicts a woman oppressed by the walls of her house, trying to take down one of the walls and open herself to the world.

A metaphor of what really happens, sadly, in most of the Arab countries, where women are still treated like second-class citizens.

Local boys and girls got involved by writing sentences of what they think about the subject or/and how can this get better.
They also helped in filling up colors and fixing up drips and stuff, Leah and Sam from AptArt were there too every single day making things easier, painting like beasts. Mad respect for them.

Things were not completely easy since we had to battle with a 2-day sand storm and some of the worst floods in the country for the past years after that.

It was completely worthy though, great experience and challenge.

Thanks to AptArt: Samantha and Leah for their endless support and help.
