This is a story of a homeland intertwined between autobiography and my work as a photojournalist. From the time when Libya was in the hands of Ghadaffi’s regime, to the 17th of February revolution, civil war, and a new tyrant. An intimate recollection of childhood and fear and hope that Libya’s new chapter would reveal beauty. There are still many buried layers and truths for us to face.
هذه قصة وطن متشابك بين سيرتي الذاتية وعملي كمصورة صحفية. منذ الوقت الذي كانت فيه ليبيا في قبضة نظام القذافي، إلى ثورة 17 فبراير ، والحرب الأهلية ، وطاغية جديد يكرر الماضي. أسعى بنوستالجيا الطفولة والقلق والأمل في أن يكشف وجه ليبيا الجديد عن الجمال. لا يزال هناك العديد من الطبقات والحقائق المدفونة علينا مواجهتها وإظهارها للعيان.
