Ascending Echoes

This evocative painting, created during the 2024 war in Gaza, portrays a young woman gazing upward with a solemn expression, surrounded by the ghostly silhouettes of figures ascending into the darkened sky. The figures represent the souls of those lost in the conflict, their presence haunting yet serene as they rise from the rubble below. The woman's eyes are filled with a mix of sorrow and resolve, reflecting the heavy toll of the war and the weight of memory. Her stoic expression suggests a determination to remember and honor those who have fallen, even as she endures the ongoing strife around her. The muted color palette and ethereal figures contribute to the painting’s somber mood, capturing the pervasive sense of loss and the enduring impact of war on those who survive.
