Replica pearls, transparent thread, variable dimensions
A necklace is made of 2832 pearls. This number corres- ponds to the number of days elapsed between the artist's birth and the official date of the end of the Lebanese war. The pearls beads used in this variant of the work have the iridescent appearance of mother-ofpearl, reminiscent of the aquatic world and its feminine symbolism. They follow one another and mimic the passing of days. The necklace hangs from the ceiling and gently falls to the ground in a shining puddle, the pearls become like dripping water drops.
