“Justice for Beirut,” created a year after the blast, powerfully portrays the collective struggle of the blast’s victims and the Lebanese community and their suffering and relentless quest for justice.
The blast’s devastation is visually represented by a pink mushroom cloud evoking the haunting memories of that tragic day. The painting’s narrative is enriched by the depiction of Beirut as a woman with a warrior-like posture who has broken her chains and is holding the scales of justice.
The painting not only addresses the external turmoil of a nation but also delves into the internal struggles within each individual. By choosing a woman to represent Beirut, Olga underscores the crucial role of Lebanese women in the country's recent crises.
Production year: 2021.
