An 18-year-old Palestinian artist in Gaza transformed a tent into a nighttime studio, painting by her brother's phone light while conflict continues.
Asayas thought deeply about a solution to this problem and, with sufficient support from the Palestinian Ministry of Culture, brought his idea to life by launching a workshop he named Aphenix. The initiative offered artists in Gaza a much-needed space to breathe, away from the burdens of war, and provided them with artistic tools to create new works.
