This shows Lebanese Humour. Damascus Road. I laughed each time I passed by it. After the Beirut Port Explosion. I went to see if it was still there. Then it was removed, and the wall was fixed.
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.,
