Pratt Institute
Two color Risograph Zine
Edition of 50
This eulogy commemorates Kuwait’s golden era of modernization (1940s–1980s), a period marked by rapid transformation and cultural growth following the oil discovery. It honors modernist structures as symbols of national ambition, identity, and optimism. As these landmarks face demolition, the eulogy mourns the loss of collective memory and heritage, urging recognition of this visionary era as foundational to Kuwait’s modern identity—one that must be remembered and preserved, not erased.
