Feature: Artist shares message of hope through photo exhibition in crisis-hit Lebanon

BEIRUT, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese artist Maher Attar says he wants to convey a message of hope to viewers through a photo exhibition he organized in Beirut, the Lebanese capital he lived and loved.

"Through images of independence, deprivation, immigration, and what's left up to interpretation, my curation portrays Beirut as a woman who had endured war and hardships but never crumbled," Attar said.
