- Most likely a reaction to the devastating July War between Israel and Lebanon in 2006,
- Beirut is a commemorative work as well as a sensory study
- Here, Mohammed Omar Khalil has used his distinctive mixed media style of collage to create this tribute to a unique city
- A mournful background of black and brown forms the base for brighter colours and textures, overlaid with patterned fabrics, magazine images, metal and splashes of paint
- This evokes the sense of a city temporarily overcome with darkness, yet steadfast in its persistent vibrancy
