In her acceptance speech, Wafaa praised the festival’s choice of “Beautiful Times” as its name, acknowledging the profound meaning it holds for artists, etching itself into their memories. Writer and media personality Charbel Al-Ghawi remarked, “In the memory of childhood, there are faces that never leave us, voices that live with us, and features that inhabit the small details of our days. Among those faces, your face, Wafaa, shines like an unextinguished stage light or a perpetually glowing scene on the screen of the heart. Your presence adds to the festival itself, because honoring Wafaa Mosalli is honoring an entire generation and acknowledging a voice that transcends borders and years.”
