Each visa-stamp page preview includes a “printer’s memo” written in the imagined voice of a state-contracted graphics firm explaining its design choices to the Lebanese government. The rhetoric mirrors the constituency behind each narrative. These texts do not represent the artist’s personal views; several cited figures are ones the artist openly critiques. They are research-based simulations intended solely for critical reflection. 

The passages below are written in the imagined voice of those who wholeheartedly champion an “Arab-Unity” narrative for Lebanon. They deliberately employ rhetoric, tone, and historical emphases typical of that constituency. They do not represent the artist’s personal beliefs, endorsements, or vocabulary.

Introductory Leaf (as advocates might frame it): This Lebanese passport affirms our nation’s Eastern identity and its unbreakable bond with the broader Arab struggle against colonial domination. From vibrant Arabic calligraphy to solidarity with Palestine, each page proclaims Lebanon’s role as a living pillar in the architecture of Arab unity.
