Living Under the Ashes is a visual meditation on the devastation of war and the fragile persistence of life within it. Painted in textured layers of acrylic, this work depicts a city engulfed by fire and shadow — a haunting reflection of the destruction faced by civilians in Gaza.

While the painting captures the chaos of bombardment, it also centers the quiet endurance of those who continue to live amid the ruins. Ashes fall like a second skin, covering everything, yet traces of light push through the haze — reminders that humanity does not vanish in the face of violence.

This piece is a witness to suffering, to survival, and to the moral cost of silence. 

Mood: Haunting, urgent, mournful, resilient
Main Colors: Charcoal black, ashen gray, smoke white, fire orange, muted crimson
Inspiration: Created in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Living Under the Ashes reflects the emotional toll of war, censorship, and collective silence. It is a quiet protest — and a call to remember.
