Mohamed Abusal On Location
“Mohamed Abusal’s artistic projects are ‘daring, critical and scathing comments on what is deemed permissible in terms of technology and civilisation in Gaza today.”
Shareef Sarhan
Gaza Lighthouse — 2020
“To take that which has been destroyed and turn it into a literal ‘beacon’ of hope is very powerful.”
“The American composer, lyricist and playwright Jonathan Larson said that the opposite of war is not peace; it is creation. Shareef Sarhan built a working lighthouse in Gaza’s harbour made from construction materials collected from the rubble of bombed buildings.
I have never been more impressed or moved by a piece of public art. To take that which has been destroyed and turn it into a literal ‘beacon’ of hope is very powerful.” James Walmsley
