In the war-torn city of Idlib, Syria, 13-year-old Muhammad Aziz Al-Asmar is turning rubble into resilience. After witnessing countless children displaced by conflict—struggling to access education, healthcare, and basic needs—he picked up a paintbrush. With his father’s support, Muhammad transforms bullet-riddled walls into haunting murals depicting the pain and hopes of his generation.
'We’re still dreaming, so don’t kill our dreams,' Muhammad declares, his artwork screaming what words can’t. His canvases? Buildings reduced to skeletons by bombs. His mission? To remind the world that Syria’s children refuse to let war erase their futures.
His plea? Protect kids in camps where survival is a daily battle. From malnutrition to missed school years, their struggles are etched into every stroke. Muhammad’s story isn’t just about loss—it’s a rallying cry for global action.
