In this photographic series, Beirut, a city with a fractured soul, serves as both the canvas and the narrative backdrop, where the moon takes center stage as the protagonist, illuminating the shadows that encompass its existence. In the heart of a city marred by decay, corruption, and perpetual darkness, "Moonshiners" emerges as a visual testament to survival, resilience and the enduring power of light.

​

Each photograph in this series captures the moon in irregular places, a deliberate manipulation achieved through analog double exposure—melding the celestial body with the urban landscape, where the first layer reveals the ethereal glow of the moon, and the second exposes the broken reality of the location.

 

The moon becomes the vital source of light, breathing life into a city otherwise consumed by darkness and disarray. It stands as a symbolic reflection of the void we traverse in Beirut, a city grappling with the weight of corruption and decay. Amidst its crumbling structures and the slow disintegration of its foundations, only the celestial body of the moon remains as an unwavering witness to the city's unraveling narrative.
