ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Merchant trader Bechara El Khoury's Tuscan style palace in Beirut has been abandoned since the civil war. It was once a statement representative of Beirut's beauty and opulence made of crafted limestone, travertine and marble. It is now forgotten and left at the mercy of the looters, weather and time. Sadly, it is now being used as a makeshift joinery workshop. A collaboration project with brilliant photographer, Fadi Badran, The Tuscan Stairway is aimed at bringing back to life the remarkable but forgotten and war torn aspects of Beirut's architectural legacy, through the application of dynamic colourful twists. The aspiration is to raise awareness of the current decaying status of a disappearing heritage and to incite local councils to take urgent action. "Pity the nation that raises not its voice, save when it walks in a funeral, boasts not except among it ruins." - Gibran Khalil Gibran.
