One painting depicts a dancer with her feet chained in barbed wire. Another is stepping on rocks while a third woman wraps her body around a grenade.
"Men and women are both in chains under the occupation," Jebril said, referring to Israel, which along with Egypt, imposes tight border restrictions on Gaza on the grounds of security.
She said her paintings also shed light on how "women suffer from the dominance of men and the inability to have a say on issues that matter".
Men and women, Jebril said, "live in a ticking bomb in Gaza", not knowing what will happen next.
Jebril said she gets ideas for her paintings from moves by international ballet dancers and those of her 11-year-old daughter Maya, who dances ballet.
Her portaits, created using painter's knives, have been displayed in galleries in some European and Arab countries.
"I felt despair seeing paintings displayed outside (Gaza) and I couldn't be there. I so much had hoped to have stood next to them," she said.
