This artwork reminds me that all too often, Palestinians are asked to be the perfect picture of resilience, because any shred of negative emotion makes people react as if they don't deserve basic human rights and dignity.<\/p>

\"My new painting \"Masks that do not hide the truth\"<\/p>
\"We have become accustomed in this war to breaking and then rising quickly and always being grateful and steadfast, being patient and seeking reward and making times beautiful in order to overcome all the pains we live and we have learned to make a mask of smile to be a key to the hearts of those we love while in reality we are squeezing out pain. This has been the case since the war attacked us and we will remain hopeful that we will live again because we deserve it\"<\/p>
