Shattered Horizon
This performative piece, shot in California soon after the August 4th Beirut blast, touches on processes of destruction, loss, grief and survivor’s guilt. It stems from a diasporic longing to help from afar, after witnessing a tragedy in one’s homeland through screens from the comfort and discomfort of being in a distant reality. It contrasts the momentary happening of destruction with the incalculable time of recovery. It depicts the conflicting and gendered roles we play in trying to make sense of times of crisis, and the fragility of our virtual processing of news.
