Dreamer in Dubai

Wander the “Streets of Beirut” with your wearable artwork, a visual collage made by the artist Ghena Safawi. It is a representation of Beirut’s interlaced neighborhoods and hidden gems, where the past meets the present.

The splash of yellow integrated in your wearable artwork represents the City’s vibrant streets – where the enthusiasm of neighbors echoes through closed doors and their love for life resonates through their everyday lives.

For the artist Rana Zaher, “The Guardian of Aleppo” is her youth. In her interpretation of the carvings uncovered in the Temple of the Storm God – one of ancient Aleppo’s main deities – Rana portrays the sphinx as a child, to represent the country’s bright future.
As for the other stylistic details, they are a reminder of how a country’s culture can survive the test of time through its art.

If Beirut were to be a woman, she would be strong and beautiful, yet exhausted from struggling to preserve its identity while keeping up with the times. This is how Beirut is embodied in your wearable artwork.
Through this illustration, Rana Zaher pays tribute to the glory of the City’s discontinued historic architecture – which now paves way for the modern skyscrapers, blending in with its surrounding cities.

This wearable artwork takes you on a walk in the “Streets of Beirut” through the visual collage of the artist Ghena Safawi. It is a representation of the city’s post-war glory – where you can still see traces of the past intertwine with the present to create a promising future.

With a splash of red, the artist visualizes a city bursting with energy – where the liveliness of the people echoes through its unshakable walls and resonates in its historical streets.
