Shortly after the start of a bloody conflict between the internationally recognized government of Yemen and Houthi rebel forces, the southern port city of Aden, where Rubil lives, became the scene of intense fighting.
Today, the rubble-strewn streets of Aden serve as a semi-permanent exhibition of Rubil’s work and a testament to what the city’s residents went through.
