explosion that ripped through Beirut on

4 August, stands proud in the shadow of

destruction. The figure of a woman, by

Lebanese artist Hayat Nazer, includes a

broken clock marking the time the blast

hit the city (6:08pm). "The explosion

broke my heart. I was just devastated.I

was traumatised, but honestly, all of us

in Lebanon are traumatised.. When I'm

feeling that way Ijust try to help, and fix

and heal through art, so this is my way of

accepting reality and trying to build my

people back up," the artist told CNN.
