Sara’s daily "horror" is the harassment she faces from peers.
Despite losing classmates and teachers, Sara continues her education and her art, sometimes working inside tents set up over the rubble of destroyed homes. Her transition from joyful landscapes to stark, emotional testimonials highlights the way art can become a critical tool for survival and advocacy for young people in crisis.
Fifteen-year-old Sara Abu Saade was once known for her vibrant paintings of happiness and community. However, living under the weight of conflict in Gaza, her canvas has shifted to reflect a much harsher reality. Today, her work depicts the suffering, blood, and destruction surrounding her, serving as a powerful visual archive of her community's resilience.
