On one side, the former headquarters of @lorientlejour_olj L’Orient-Le Jour — a building rooted in Beirut’s intellectual and journalistic history, restored after years of war and silence.
On the other, a new structure by @zahahadidarchitects Zaha Hadid Architects — fluid, algorithmic, and still unfinished after years marked by fire, explosion, and economic collapse.
Between them, a city negotiating with itself.
Beirut doesn’t choose between past and future — it carries both, unfinished.
Eid Mubarak 🌙
Fitr Mubarak to all my Muslim friends and everyone celebrating.
These days remind us how fragile peace can be.
Grateful to be in Bahrain, where we still feel safety, warmth, and unity.
May the coming days bring calm and peace to everyone.
