MASAR

Abstract

I grew up in a society that told me how connected we are as Arabs; we spoke the same language and we share the same history and culture. However, I realized, as time passed, that we’re very far from being connected. One of the many PanArab related questions I wondered was the reason we couldn’t cross country borders without visas. Therefore, with Arab Unity and the Pan-Arab ideology being the drive of this project, the 22 Arab countries connect physically by a hypothetical railway system. The brand created has a distinct Arab identity, away from the clichés of arabesques and motifs. This project is a utopia in its grand aspect, yet it is a political statement in its core.
