LAND INVENTORY

Year 2024
Dubai - Sole DXB


Land Inventory is an immersive sound installation created in collaboration with artist Youmna Saba. Through a curated inventory list and field recordings from Lebanese soils, the project explores what remains, what has changed, and what might be lost of Lebanon’s natural and cultural heritage—its flora, fauna, landmarks, and homes.

The installation was showcased at Sole DXB in Dubai, where the main stage diffused these field recordings, offering an auditory exploration of Lebanon’s diverse landscapes. This sensory experience allowed attendees to hear the essence of the country’s environmental and cultural landscape.

Land Inventory reflects the power of sound art in preserving and communicating the nuances of Lebanon's heritage. It encourages reflection on the fragility of natural and cultural treasures, making them audible for a broader audience.
