Palestinians on Thursday marked 66 years since the Nakba, or Catastrophe.
The concept of resistance has remained strong, with related art and slogans widely visible throughout.
Many Palestinians still have keys to their original homes, which they have kept as a symbolic sign of ownership and the right to return.
The key plays a central part in the annual Nakba protests and commemorations.
The Israeli barrier that divides the West Bank has readily acted as a surface on which to paint phrases and symbols relating to the Nakba.
But many others also use the concrete as a canvas.
