There are cracks everywhere in the façade of the Domain, most immediately visible in the modern buildings’ relationship to the land they are built on. The emptiness physicalizes the disconnect between the Domain and the actual place it exists in and is built to study and educate. There is a hollow divide, a physical disconnect, between the two spaces. Still, it is attractive to Indar and Salim, who are wooed by the space’s embrace of foreigners. The performance of the Domain allows Salim to live once again in the illusion of importance—even if he cannot contribute himself, he still feels privileged to be amongst it all.
