Youmna's photos tell the urban story through three events and the environment. This photo is part of her collection.
The 4th of August was the most devastating, traumatizing blow we faced, even after so many years of chaos and war. There will always be a 'before and after' the explosion. An army of volunteers was deployed then, and rubble, of all kinds, was everywhere. Crossing the streets, sad and angry, this scene caught my eye—I knew it had potential. All the input I had from culture, art, history, and more was telling me, 'You’ve got it!' It was all there. The urban setting, the art materials, the street art, how the light reflected through broken glass—light is so important in photography. I took a few pictures but chose that one, enhancing it a little.
About Youmna Jazzar Medlej
On her first Photography course at school, Youmna Jazzar knew it would be her way of expressing herself. She took photography courses at EFET in Paris and worked for years as a freelance photographer and journalist, pointing out the beautiful, positive, interesting sides of culture, history, art, street art, design…
Through chaotic times, while all is in turmoil, she wanted to express her deep feelings, her own glance. She found her photos “Theme” with what she witnessed on the grounds. A challenge, but the feeling that “it is there to discover” was strong. It was not about technique, but feelings, about what she knew, lived and experienced, about her people enduring and still are today, the stories with Chaos, Covid and the huge 4th August Explosion of the Beirut Port. She crossed the streets, looking for it, on and on. Believe it or not, it was, is, also a kind of therapy, a way to remove the sadness, the fear, the suffering … A way to survive.,
