In a land burdened by pain, Syrians have endured various forms of tragedy since 2011. Between the helplessness of those in exile, trapped by their anxiety, the helplessness of those waiting for loved ones forcibly hidden, and the helplessness of those extending their hands with a paper bearing words that shout in a silent, stifled voice, Syrians share the weight of powerlessness and the suffocation of being trapped between the walls of repression.
