Tears For My Country – Nour Jazzar

Photograph depicting the Lebanese artist’s face expressing the raw unfiltered emotions of the Lebanese people towards Beirut, and Lebanon as a whole. We are crying tears of blood symbolizing a deep heart ache towards our beloved country which made us torn between our attachment to our dear cedar which is the symbol of Lebanon, and our survival instincts to leave everything behind towards another land which will never feel like home, because the cedar will always have its roots in our hearts as shown in the pool of blood which also represents the Lebanese citizens’ hearts and core.This art piece has touched so many people, and have been intuitive to every Lebanese, so the artist have decided to make this piece as affordable as possible; for Lebanon.
