The Students and Teacher polyptych, is part of Guerresi's photographic series "M-eating," which explores the conflicting relationship between isolation and union. The panels of this work embody the idea of unity in fragmentation. In the scene, the students and the teacher are absorbed in deep reflection, surrounded by symbolic artifacts of war: shell casings and a petrol can. In this context, these objects lose their drama but retain their inherent danger.

Behind the characters, the green calligraphy of the Basmala invocation appears, “Bi-ismi 'llāhi al-Rahmāni al-Rahīm,” which translates to “In the name of God the Forgiving and Merciful.” This inscription symbolically positioned at three quarters of the work resists the cryptic meaning of the golden proportion.
