Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is set to host the world’s highest graffiti exhibition this week. Titled No One Knows I Am Here, the exhibition is the first solo show by Turkish-born, Dubai-based graffiti artist Ferhat Kaz, and will be staged on the 108th floor of the iconic skyscraper.
This floor sits just 55 levels below the Burj Khalifa’s top floor, making it the highest location ever for a graffiti show.
11 original works, one honouring Sheikh Mohammed
The exhibition will feature 11 original artworks, each created on-site by Kaz. A standout piece is dedicated to HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who celebrates his 76th birthday on July 15. The piece pays tribute to the Ruler’s visionary leadership and enduring legacy.
Kaz explained, “This work symbolises the unity and strength Sheikh Mohammed has brought to this city, even as we explore the solitude that comes with reaching new heights.”
A journey from Global Village to the world stage
Originally from Istanbul, Ferhat Kaz has lived in Dubai for 11 years. He began with a modest graffiti shop at Global Village, and today, he stands among the UAE’s most prominent self-taught street artists. His bold, graphic style blends minimalism, vintage aesthetics, and typography, and his portfolio includes murals, installations, and detailed wall art.
Kaz is also a core member of Graffiti Dubai, a local collective known for vibrant and socially reflective urban art.
Over the years, he has collaborated with global brands such as Rolls-Royce, Amazon, Red Bull, and Hugo Boss, as well as respected local organisations including Yas Marina Circuit F1, Meraas, Damac, and Dubai Police.
Speaking about the show’s emotional core, Kaz said:
“Loneliness is not below – it ascends with us. This installation takes place at the highest residential point on Earth, not for the view, but for the emotional metaphor. As we rise higher – physically or emotionally – we often become more isolated. This show captures that elevation of solitude, where connection fades and silence grows louder.”
Invitation-only event with exclusive access via Instagram
The exhibition is open by invitation only, but fans may have a chance to attend by participating in giveaways hosted on the artist’s Instagram account: @khaz.one.
