NARRATIVE
TUT DOOR C.V.
The designer chooses the door as one of the symbolic theme that our lives
revolve around. The door is a symbolic idea of entrance and exiting, as entering
and leaving life. For example, door has the property of prevention and allowing,
which are two contradictory properties that can take place simultaneously.
Whenever the human stands in front of the door, it represents himself. This is
what the designer approved in his choice to the door as an eye witness to the
history. It tells us about its life history, which the designer meant to use to explore
about the life history of each Egyptian citizen, expressing his passion and dreams,
as well as, recalling his childhood and youth then talking about his elderliness and
the effects of the years on him. The designer managed to contact between the
past with the glorious history and the present with its joys and pains. Then he
ends his story talking about life which carries darkness and light looking forward
to the future, and that he someday will return the torch of civilization to its
original birthplace.
