Mai Gini, 28, paints from the heart, creating art that mirrors emotion and survival. Her journey changed on October 7, when she fled the Nova Festival alone, carrying both fear and heartbreak. Her paintings became a reflection of those moments — layers of trauma, trust, and the heavy weight of memory. Through brush and color, Mai gives form to what words cannot express: the brokenness of a heart and its search for release. Her works are not only personal expressions but mirrors for others, reminding us of art’s power to reveal pain, carry resilience, and transform suffering into strength and hope.
