The continuous action of building and construction that turns Beirut into a stereotypical city pushed me to start my concept Civilian Spectrums in 2014. It reflects my impressions of people’s lives and the construction of the stories and traditions of the city, where there’s more concrete which is thirsty to exist, which cannot wait until it fills the air, climbing the “metal crowns.” It conquers the space of light that is left, while the identity of the city remains hidden as a metaphysical observer.
The art works will be showcased at The Kindergarten Collective on the 28th of February, a few days before I leave for Istanbul, being grateful for all of the inspiration of Beirut, Ideas to go further with, and a beautiful family, while their beautiful faces were the light that eliminates the shade of concrete masses.
