2. When my mom and I landed in
Beirut, war had already started.
What was important to me was
the metal trunks in which were
found all my plastik toys.
my imaginary world and
personal effects gave me a
sense of belonging and safety.
5. Other people
also sought
refuge
in the
bathroom
during war
times it was
the safest
place to
hide.
DURING WAR TIMES, IT
WAS CONSIDERED A
SAFE SHELTER !!
6. When I grew up, belongings invaded
my own personal space

habits became an inspiration
Used espresso bags are aka the x audience. I collect them from offices and
cafes in Beirut.
10. The right to the Lebanese nationality was on my priority list,
although I used art to assist others in interpreting words of
suffering into images.
Dozens of projects related to awareness raising and fundraising
programs were implemented in all Lebanese areas.
Some of them are found in:
