'I wanted to take this photo during my daily life at the hospital. I used the X-ray because for me, it is a unique force for revealing the inside. I don't know why I thought about suicide... maybe because sometimes we talk about suicide with ourselves. I am a country man and at the same time, the son of this strange, scary oil civilisation. In ten years our lives changed completely. For me it is a drastic change that I experience every day.' (Ahmed Mater)
