The project was born of the need to transform press photographs illustrating different periods in the history of Lebanon. The double explosion at the port of Beirut in 2020 revived the pain and the anxiety of a whole people and reawakened the traumas of a country repeatedly wounded. Having grown up trying to escape those "ghost images", the artist reclaims them by colouring and reworking them.
