    Mashaer chose the section of the souq where a lot of the restaurants are located. She wanted to show the connection between the old traditional styles and the new both through the food and architecture. I feel that visually she did a good job with organizing the piece. I like the dimension that it has with the lamp in the front and the door/wall cuts in the back. I like the different textures and how she showed the different materials. I like the use of the sections of the lamp to incorporate the materials used and the further explanation of old and new. Through what is shown I definitely get the feel of the souq. But at the same time I don't really get the feeling of the restaurants.I understand that she's written the names of the old traditional dishes in grey and the newer ones in orange, but as far as getting the feel of food whether it's the food itself, taste or smell, I dont really get that in the piece. So without being told I wouldn't have guessed that this was specifically the restaurant strip in the souq.
