Concept: As a first post-war generation in Lebanon I grew up listening to stories from the Civil War (1975-1990) from various members of my family. I decided to look back at the photographs my grandparents kept during this period, and noticed that they only depicted joyful moments. Therefore, I designed a book representing the contrasts between the joyful pictures of my family and the dark context they were taking in. The book starts in 1958 since it's the year my grandparents got married in and when the first civil war occurred in the country leading up to the 15 years Lebanese Civil War in 1975.
