Sculpture « Beyrouth 609 » by the artist Hady Sy

« For a short while, time is suspended. Then: sirens, chaos, annihilation. The blast has no mercy for Beirut. Hady Sy’s sculptures,Trinity, pays homage to the city, here envisioned as a woman, or, rather, the ultimate Woman.

Beyrouth is thin, fluid, voluptuous. As one revolves around it, it becomes even more refined, elegant, dignified. A womb appears – the incarnation of sensuality is also a mother to more than a million.

Beyrouth is shaped as 609, the number of an angel who’s the ethereal embodiment of the perpetual path of life. 609, at the same time, conceals the fateful number right, the minute past 6 pm when Beirut was ravaged. » (text by Marie Tomb)
