Have you ever wandered an art gallery 828 metres high? Well, now’s your chance.

Ferhat Kaz began his journey with a small graffiti shop, in Dubai's bustling Global Village. Surrounded by curious onlookers, it was there that he first introduced his bold, expressive style to the public. Today, he is recognised as one of the UAE's most prominent self-taught graffiti artists. And now, his work has reached new heights, quite literally.

Kaz has opened the world’s highest graffiti exhibition, No One Knows I Am Here, on the 108th floor of the iconic Burj Khalifa. Standing 828 metres (2,717 feet) above ground, this exhibition opened on 15 July 2025 and is now officially the highest art showcase on Earth.

The exhibition features 11 original works, all created on-site by Ferhat himself. Known for his use of minimalism, graphic typography and vintage-inspired design, Kaz brings a striking visual language to this unique space. Originally from Istanbul, he has spent the past 11 years living and working in Dubai.

A highlight of the show is a tribute to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, unveiled on the occasion of his birthday, 15 July. The artwork celebrates the ruler’s visionary leadership and lasting legacy in shaping Dubai’s cultural identity. Two additional pieces in the exhibition were created in collaboration with Hu Art, bringing even more creative depth to the show.

Although the Burj Khalifa offers an unforgettable view, Kaz says the exhibition is not about the scenery but about what it represents. “Loneliness is not below. It ascends with us,” he explained. “This installation takes place in 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 solitude where connection fades and silence grows louder.”

Kaz's portfolio includes collaborations with global brands such as Rolls-Royce, Amazon, Red Bull, and Hugo Boss, alongside leading regional names like Dubai Police, Meraas, Yas Marina Circuit F1 and Damac.

The exhibition is open exclusively to invited guests. However, fans can win access by entering through his Instagram page.
