ISSA Syria\ Facing the sea while building fiercely

The Junada Stone Sculpture Symposium in Syria, and ISSA Syria, was held at the Junada resort in Tartus, Syria, 

on the Mediterranean Sea. 13 Syrian artists participated in the Symposium. Five of the artists worked on

 the rock wall while the other eight completed their own individual works. The symposium began on October 

10th and ended on November 6th.

Tartus is a major port city on the Mediterranean coast of Syria. It is the second largest port city in Syria, 

with a history dating back to the 2nd millennium BC, when it was founded as a Phoenician colony of Aradus. 

During the summer months, it is a vacation destination for many Syrians. Many resorts and vacation villages

 are located in the area.
