7 Worlds is loosely inspired by historic sites in Lebanon, capturing the sensation of each place as it presents itself in memory and blending it with otherworldly imagery. References to jinn and the imaginal realm they live in, along with Crusade-era citadels and Baalbek’s Roman temples, form the basis for this piece. Deep imagination and empathy is required to navigate this emotional landscape.
