Abusala had his "vision" while observing Gaza's anarchic traffic system, a tangle of donkey carts, motorcycles, rickshaws, and dilapidated old cars, not to mention the trucks plying the 40 kilometre route from the north to the Egyptian border in the south.
Line 1 of the imaginary metro is green on the map that leads from the Israeli crossing point of Erez to the Rafah border town in the south where a network of real tunnels carries smuggled goods and people to and from Egypt.
The artist dreams of his metro system being accessible to all, running on sustainable energy supplied by Egypt, immune to Israeli bombardments and blockades, not beholden to the region's political twists and turns, nor with men and women segregated.
The photo exhibition of the project is running at the French cultural centre in Gaza City until January 17.
