Streets of Beirut – Red Edition

“Hierarchy of Life”, is a depiction of Dubai’s social diversity, captured by the lens of the artist, Mohamad Badr, and put on display in this wearable artwork.

This artistic visual pays homage to each and every individual who has contributed to turning Dubai into the melting pot of cultures it has become today.

In an age where everyone is trying to find their way to the top, the ‘Hierarchy of Life’ reminds us that it takes a strong base to sustain limitless growth.

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.

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.

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.
