Personal Project 2: The Memory Station
The Mar Mikhayel train station used to be one of the main stations in Beirut for the Lebanese rail road that travelled to the Bekaa all the way to the borders with Syria as of 1895. The Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) ceased its operations and since then the remaining stations have been neglected. I decided to recreate the Mar Mikhayel Station (or EDL station) as a Memorial for the Beirut Blast (August 2020) and use the trains as means to travel back in time and revisit Beirut's golden ages.
