In her interpretation of the 'Empire' as a challenged masculine force, Alshaibi begins her confrontation with history. Performing as a valiant female boxer in a fantasy boxing match, ready to face dominance and control, a contemporary fight occurs, under the colors of a pan-Arab flag. The stop motion video is projected into the centre of a canvas with the image of an anonymous Roman ruin in the Middle East - a symbol of historical foreign domination.
