Watch: Mute artist paints a thousand words of optimism in Syria

Lama Abadi is a woman who doesn’t let her disability get in the way. Her artwork on battle-scarred buildings speaks volumes.

Lama Abadi communicates through sign language and her art. Her brush is fluent in the language of hope that she spreads on war-wrecked walls.
“I want to replace people’s pain with laughter so they can see the world in a more beautiful light,” Lama tells SCENES.
