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.
