This mixed media artwork captures the essence of daily life in Lebanon-chaotic, layered, humorous, and deeply human. It presents a crowded urban scene filled with overlapping figures. A street vendor sells kaak unnoticed by the distracted police officer, while street signs are either ignored or lost in the noise. All of this unfolds under a canopy of common Lebanese phrases heard every day in the streets, painted directly into the scene like echoes of the people's voices. Crafted using markers and acrylic paint on canvas, the composition is purposefully chaotic and colorful, mimicking the Lebanese urban rhythm: disorganized yet functional, humorous yet exhausting. What may seem like nonsense to some is, to others, simply a very normal day.
