baalbeck x sursock

for borgi bastormagi

On the occasion of the event “Baalbek, Archives of an Eternity” curated by Vali Mahlouji at the Sursock Museum, we presented a set of 4 small items inspired by the complex of Baalbeck and its multiple layers of civilization. The 4 items can be arranged in infinite number of compositions.

The abstracted shapes give a contemporary take on the components of the temple and its architecture.
