Capturing street-corner vendors and grocers, parking-lot attendants, fishermen, bather and street artists, past and future constructions but also buildings in a state of collapse, Fadia Ahmad expresses the complex cohabitations in the world of today. Her photographs, conceived like paintings, are images of Beirut, of partition, of difference, of her feelings. They are fragments of a life just as they are fragments of a city.
