Now that Lebanon is being hit hard by instability and political unrest, the economic situation has deteriorated, which has been further affected by the Corona virus.
“I am shocked by this tragedy, but the truth is that all Lebanese are suffering,” Hayat said. Immediately after the explosion, I started clearing debris from the city together with the people.
It was at this point that he came up with the idea of making something out of the rubble that would move people. She wants people to be brave and work together to rebuild the city. For this he considered enlisting the help of sculpture. Hayat Nazar collected wood, glass, metal fragments and stones from various places which she turned into a girl.
For weeks, they also collected discarded items and picked up broken items from people’s homes. Hayat saw that people also gave him very valuable and memorable items which have now become part of this statue. Working day and night, he created a statue of a Lebanese flag-bearing girl with a watch in her footsteps. The clock stopped at 6:08 a.m., which is the time of the explosion.
Although this was an excuse to lighten the heart, it can also be seen as a ray of hope for the Lebanese people in difficult circumstances. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. The girl was seen waving a Lebanese flag.
