Year 2023

In the distance, a thobe outline in the making from the hardest of stone, a stitch is embroidering a story to narrate our lives, with every stitch it brings us closer to our home, in a continuation of a much larger odyssey. From single units hitching a ride on our ancestors thobes and surviving challenging situations, locked into our core, then set free here on stone to stitch a story of many lives.

Onyx Sculptures
2018

The sculptures, made of stone and brass, tell the stories of the richness of the flora and fauna of Palestine documented though embroidery. This was captured in various embroidery motifs from berries, to carnations, to palm trees, to grapevine leaves and even motifs reflecting chicken feet.

The elements were abstracted to be simplified into geometric shapes.

The sculptures were part of the same exhibit of the Bride’s Carpet. The story being that the Bride’s Carpet was buried in the garden, and these were seeds founds in the garden that artists nisreen and nermeen watered and cared for until they bloomed.
