Description: Amid extraordinary megalithic structures, towering rock-carved facades that have stood statuesque-still for more than 5000 years, AlSalem’s structure is an elegantly simple gesture that spans past and present: a passage-way, its circumference shaped by calligraphic letter forms that read Amma Qabl (loosely meaning ‘what precedes’). The words, elongated to 9m, are architecturally transformed into a tunnel as they link one non-descript point in the desert to another, equally anonymous point.
