Abeer Jebril's canvases show ballerinas chained to barbed wire, dancing on stones or facing barricades, to illustrate what she calls the reality of the "time bombs" of Gaza.
She hopes her portraits will contribute to bring attention to social and political issues these women have to deal with, living in an enclave of 2 million people.
She said her paintings highlight how "women suffer from male dominance and their inability to have a say on crucial issues."
