This three-part installation draws on the stages of grief: Numbness, Disorganization, and Reorganization, to trace how loss is lived and processed. The installation explores the dialogue between a nation and its diaspora within a continuously evolving and compounding series of traumatic events. The three parts are grounded in years of ethnographic and archival reflection on crisis in Lebanon, from the 2020 Beirut Port explosion through the ongoing 2024/25 Israeli war on Lebanon, where daily life becomes an aspiration for normalcy amid extraordinarily abnormal realities. The central work is Part 1, Another Wall That Shouldn’t Exist (Disorganization), which presents 108 requests sent from Lebanon to Paris seeking help obtaining medicines during a period when pharmacies were empty. The requests were transcribed in their original languages, anonymized, and handwritten onto a symbolic prescription representing Lebanon’s medical clinics, then hung together to convey the crisis as a collective experience transcending economic class and community. Part 2, Dear Diaspora (Reorganization), is an interactive installation inviting visitors to write anonymous messages to anonymous compatriots abroad, attempting to express their lived absurdities to an invisible diaspora. Visitors are asked to reflect: “What would you tell them if you could?” Two postcards accompany this work: Having a Blast, and The Drones are Driving Us Crazy, were designed to illustrate the chaos and the pursuit of normalcy from the perspective of nation to diaspora. Finally, Part 3, The Crying Table (Numbness), consists of two stools and a table covered with a tablecloth printed with the words “The Government Broke My Heart. ” It invites beauty to emerge from collective grief, offering a moment of connection in which two strangers can sit and grieve together.
