An Introduction to Syria

An Introduction to Syria

Syria.

What word comes to mind when you think of it? For most, it might be something along the lines of "war" or "destruction." Perhaps "poverty" or "tragedy." While these words hold undeniable truths, they often overshadow other aspects of this country—words like "artistic" and "lively," "awe-inspiring" or "entrancing." These words now overwhelm me when I think of Syria. I aim to share with you what I witnessed, through photographs and letters, with a focus on the positive, all the while acknowledging the impact of the wars that have been waged.
