Many Palestinians displaced by Israel's war on Gaza have experienced dramatic life changes. Al Jazeera spoke with a Palestinian artist who uses her skills to depict the suffering of her people over the past nine months.

Aseel Hassan Nasman, a 22-year-old former student of artistic education and graphic design at Al Aqsa University, could not graduate due to the war. Displaced multiple times, she lost all her tools and paintings when her house was bombed.

After a three-month hiatus, she resumed painting using makeup kits and children's sets, illustrating the hunger, displacement, bombardment, destruction, and deaths her people endure.
