Asil, a visual artist and storyteller, is originally from Gaza City and is now based in the US. Her journey with photography started back home in Gaza, where she would take countless walks through the city with her camera, Eve, exploring new ways to heal and discover herself. During this time, she was deeply inspired by the vibrant energy and diversity of her hometown. Her photography from those days is a reflection of her intimate relationship with Gaza—its streets, its people, its contradictions, and its beauty. She believes in unfiltered storytelling, so she keeps her photos lightly edited to preserve the authenticity of the scenes she captures. Through her lens, her hope is to offer a fresh and honest perspective of Gaza, showing its resilience, humanity, and the complexity of life there.
