Heba Hej Habo fled war in Syria with her family when she was seven years old. Back then, she says her only hope was to survive.
The 18-year-old's family travelled through Europe and eventually found refuge in Ireland in 2017. She has been living in Co Wexford ever since and says they have now found their "happy ending".
Art has become an important part of Heba's life and she says painting her memories from her family's journey has helped her to heal and process "everything I have been through and overcome."
In our video, Heba reflects on her past and looks ahead to what she hopes will be a bright future.
