The depicted demolishing symbols mark the first phase of an impending destruction, these symbols are haunting, cancerous, apocalyptic.
Spread around the city, can be seen everywhere, yet it goes unnoticeable at first.
There’s a haunting feel about the numbers.
Some people fight against these numbers, by erasing, scratching and painting over these numbers.
12,000 housing units including mosques, schools, hotels, and governmental facilities, in addition to the acquired vast and undeveloped lands, which lead to the change in the mobility with this newly transformed spaces.
Doors document the physical aftermath of societal displacement, the doors act as an ID which represents the family’s residing in it.
This displacement affected the people in terms of the surprising nature of it, and forced under the shadow of transparency.

The architecture, the use of the volcanic rocks, the building define the history of the area.

Doors of Barlik:
The early stages of demolition have appeared again. Numbers and signs are sprayed on the walls and doors of some 12,500 housing units across the holy city of Madinah. The depicted demolishing symbols mark the first phase of an impending destruction, and the doors document the physical aftermath of societal displacement. Moath begins to explore the reoccurring residential rehabilitation Madinah has gone through in the past, and is currently undergoing. The artist questions the necessity of producing new urban spaces, and its affect on the cultural, architectural and social character of the area.
Doors of Barlik examines the visible spatial components of a social and urban transformation in progress.
أبواب برلك
ظهرت الأرقام على جدران ومداخل مايزيد على 12،000 عقار في المدينة المنورة

فمن خلالها بدأ معاذ في اسكتشاف عملية الإصلاح السكني التي مرت بها المدينة في الماضي، والتي تختبرها الآن. ويتساءل الفنان عن ضرورة إنتاج المساحات الحضارية الجديدة، وتأثيرها على الطابع الثقافي، والمعماري والاجتماعي للمنطقة.
تدرس"أبواب برلك" العناصر المكانية الواضحة للتحول الاجتماعي والحضري الجاري...
