On Dreams, The Surreal And The Liberation Of Syria (And Homs)

  • Julie-Yara Atz

December 8, 2024. The long-awaited fall of the Assad regime. After 54 years, time stands still. And it feels unreal. Like a dream, you don’t want to wake up from, even if the backdrop is a bombed-out city. Anything is possible. There is room for everything. For dreams, for hope, but also for all uncertainties.

Zwei Männer sind auf einem Hintergrund von Palmen und Fabrikgelände zu sehen. Alles ist sehr verschwommen.
