Patricia Sarrafian Ward is a writer and book artist originally from Beirut, Lebanon and currently living in the United States. As a book artist, Ward continues to explore civilian wartime experience and issues of identity and belonging.  Her work has appeared in a number of galleries.


This book is inspired by the Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, though many years have passed but still scared. Works mixed with good childhood, nostalgia and longing for the future. Patricia Sarrafian Ward is a focus on the human impact of war artists, most of her works have appeared, she effected over the effectiveness of desire, despite its hazards. War dream is my reaction 2008-09 invasion of Gaza. The tragedy of war scenes with shadows of childhood, a strong contrast. I love her for this work, while concerned about the war closer to life, a shock to the heart.
