Friends sitting round a Christmas tree, two long-distance lovers talking on the phone, a man fixing the internet connection for his partner.
At first glance, some of Dima Nachawi's illustrations could show couples from almost anywhere in the world - but the rest of the collection tells a very different story; of air strikes, injuries and death.
These pictures illustrate how real people live - and love - in Eastern Ghouta, an area of Syria where conditions have been described as "hell on earth" by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
"They [the residents] still live their daily lives, they still fall in love and try to protect their beloved ones," says Dima.
Dima grew up in Syria, but left the country a number of years ago and now lives in Beirut, where she has a career as an artist.
