The statue made from the rubble of Beirut's port explosion
An artist has created a statue of a woman using rubble and broken glass from Beirut's dockside mega-blast that took place in August. There are torn drapes at her feet and a damaged clock, found in the street by the artist, marks the exact time of the explosion. The statue faces forward, with her right arm reaching up to the sky, and her hair is flowing in the wind. Lebanese artist Hayat Nazer explains how she gathered the material from the statue and how the statue is at risk from pro-government supporters.
