She portrays her friends and family with startling energy and intimacy, in states of pleasure and protest. Boulos renders the body in public space as a powerful motif, both visceral and vulnerable in the face of state neglect and violence. Of her approach to photography, Boulos states: “It’s more of a need than a choice. I obsess about things and I don’t know how to deal with these obsessions in any other way but photography.” Featuring a contextual essay by noted writer Mona Eltahawy, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhat’s Ours\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e showcases Boulos’s strident and urgent vision.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 216 pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMyriam Boulos\u003c\/span\u003e (born in Beirut, 1992) emerged from a country fragmented by war that had to reinvent itself.
