You will discover terracotta and bronze fables by Fadi Yazigi, abreast with Michel Zoghzoghi’s photographs of wild animals in their natural habitat.

David Kramer’s questions will switch your gaze to a different state of existence while Michele Assaf Kamel’s sculptures redefine our relationship to land and country.
