A cactus in broken glass after the explosion. Beirut, Lebanon, 2020

Tracing the turbulent landscape of the 2019 revolution in Lebanon, through the devastating consequences of the Beirut port explosion in August 2020, Boulos’ series ‘What’s Ours’ is a powerful ode to tenderness in the face of violence and political upheaval. Feeling her way through the smog of political corruption, police brutality, and a layered and diverse Beirut; Boulos finds strength and clarity in softness. It is here, nestled amongst the daily onslaught of trauma, grief and fear that she uncovers an irrepressible lust for living, for freedom.
