By @yoursanctuary.lb ・・・ Lebanon Through Its Balco By @yoursanctuary.lb ・・・ Lebanon Through Its Balconies A balcony is a room with one wall missing. Across Lebanon, that small projection became a place for air, observation, drying, conversation and display. Tripoli’s shaded edges, El Mina’s salt-worn galleries, Beirut’s street-facing balconies, Zahlé’s hospitality and Jezzine’s mountain outlooks all negotiate a different relationship between the house and the world. The balcony is never only decoration. Its depth, railing, shade and orientation decide how public domestic life is allowed to become. All visuals are original informed reconstructions created for this documentary. They do not depict specific surviving buildings. Which Lebanese balcony would you spend an evening on?

#Repost persiaboihemmat ・・・ Spain are the 2026 Wor #Repost persiaboihemmat ・・・ Spain are the 2026 World Cup champions!! They just beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time and lifted the trophy on American soil. Ferran Torres scored the winner and La Roja became champions of the world. While certain regimes were loudly rooting for the other side, Spain stood firm against the illegal war. They refused to support the aggression. They chose peace. And tonight the entire world saw that choice rewarded. From Madrid to Palestine to Iran - this win belongs to everyone who rejects war and stands with the oppressed. ¡Vamos España! No a la guerra. Sí a la paz. Sacred Defense. #SpainWon #WorldCup2026 #PersiaBoi #SacredDefense LaRoja

Mi intención fue propone un diálogo entre la medicina contemporánea y el conocimiento ancestral de la medicina tradicional mexicana, en particular las prácticas relacionadas con la herbolaria y el profundo entendimiento de las plantas medicinales. Estoy muy agradecida por el cálido recibimiento por parte de todo el equipo del festival y por tener la oportunidad de participar ❤️ 📷 Jordan Beaufrere

Created for this year’s XXIV International Art Biennial of Cerveira @bienaldecerveira, this piece marks a more immersive direction in my practice. A wall broken open becomes a passage where visitors encounter their own reflection, inviting us to think about identity as something continuously shaped by movement, distance, and change.
