Al-Quds القدس
The Jerusalem Biennale of Art. 2019
Oil paint on concrete ground, 10x10 m
Hebrew and Arabic hybrid calligraphy mural on the ground of the first railway station in Jerusalem. The station was built in 1892 as the area was ruled by the Ottoman empire. Since, it has changed its function many times, as the city was conquered and changed its authorities over and over. Al-Quds is the official name of Jerusalem in the arabic world. The simple action of spelling it in Hebrew letters is considered as wildly unreasonable, illogical and inappropriate by most of the city.
