Frans Al-Salmi, a notable visual artist, and filmmaker Abu Hatab were killed while socializing with colleagues. Rafiq Al-Salmi shared final communications with Frans, expressing her struggles and longing for connection with loved ones. Frans, who graduated with distinction from Al Aqsa University, actively participated in Gaza's art scene and led workshops for children affected by conflict. Despite many personal hardships, including her father's death and her brother's injury, she persevered creatively, aiming to further her artistic studies outside Gaza and sharing a deep love for beauty and creativity.
"Life can be cruel, it puts us in situations that make us realise just how vulnerable we are when we're alone, and how much strength we draw from the people we love."
"It may not have been my first experience, but it was the one I understood most deeply. I am now trying to realise my artistic identity within the circle of contemporary arts."
"I want the world to know that she loved everything beautiful—all of life—and that she wanted to live to create all that is beautiful."
