Five years ago, Amr moved from Syria to Madrid. During a stroll in the Royal Botanical Garden of his new home, surrounded by plants and trees from all over the world, he reflects on what it means for him to be The Other. The video grows into a mosaic of the plants’ images emphasizing their catalogued character.
