Youmna's photos tell the urban story through three events and the environment. This photo is part of her collection.
Humans, animals, and even nature possess an incredible capacity for resilience. The world is changing, and not for the better—the modern world is disrupting the balance of life on Earth in countless ways. Yet, despite everything, we witness the will of humans, animals, and nature to survive and thrive.
I was deeply moved by this scene, which combines elements of urban life, nature reflected in the glass, and the promise of the future, symbolized by the dove nesting. We’re noticing that birds are adapting their habits—losing their natural habitats, they seek new ones; facing climate change, they alter their migration routes, sometimes shifting from north to south and back again.
True to my nature, I added a touch of poetry through the colors in the palette, blending hope with the harsh realities we face.
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.,
