In the realm of the unseen, the intangible finds its form. In an invisible landscape, what's hidden from the eye materializes. It consists of "what could have been" rather than concrete reality.
In this work, the landscape witnesses the events that unfolded during the October 2019 revolution in Lebanon.
Only traces remain on the ground, a shy and unnoticeable evidence. Yet, it’s there to stay, reminiscent of the uprisings that had kindled our spirits, unyielding and determined to hold on.
