Journey by Rafat Asad

For me the city of Jerusalem is a lost city. Despite all my efforts, I was only allowed to visit the city once as a kid. Thus, in my reality Jerusalem is very far away despite its physical proximity, but much closer in my dreams and fantasy.
Journey creates an airport billboard with ‘Jerusalem’ as a possible destination. In doing so it speaks of both my personal dislocation and the dislocation of the place.
