‘Reflections’ by Sarah Zeryab & ‘Hamule’ by ‘Mauricio Misle’

Reflections By Sarah Zeryab

Throughout the three consecutive years Sarah has lived in Beirut, WhatsApp has been the only means of communication between her and her parents in Damascus. Sarah receives from her father a voice note of him singing her a song by Oum Kulthoum. It is through the voice notes exchanged with her parents that Sarah discovers that the war has reversed their roles: the adults have become children who devour memories of the past. She, meanwhile, asks herself, ‘What do my parents look like now?’
