In her series titled “Bayti” (the Arabic word for home) Sarah portrays typical scenes of neighborhoods in Lebanon, mainly from its capital Beirut. Her paintings capture the authentic character of chaotic streets, local shops, old buildings, hanging laundry, cluttered balconies and the electric wires that span almost every corner.

She shows Beirut how locals identify with. Her aim is not to display famous places or beautiful scenery, but rather to show the hidden charm of ordinary places that remain unnoticed and people pass by every day. She paints these scenes the way they really are without polishing rough patches.

This series is worked with mixed media combing gauche, acrylics, colored pencils, and markers on various types of cardboard.
