“From an early age in Beirut, I immersed myself in the world of cinema, watching historical movies alongside my father. Cinema isn't just entertainment for me; it defines my entire existence, flowing through my veins. Throughout my life, I nurtured a dream of crafting my own film, and with the creation of ""Limbo,"" I accomplished one of my many aspirations. Despite my deep connection to cinema, I often questioned my capacity to convey my thoughts and emotions through visuals and sound. However, with the completion of ""Limbo,"" I not only conquered those uncertainties but also experienced immense pride by venturing beyond my comfort zone.

To me, art possesses a remarkable capacity to mend concealed wounds in unimaginable ways. This particular achievement holds a significance I had underestimated, as it provided part of the healing that I deeply needed.”
