I reinterpret Palestinian identity through contemporary Tatreez, a traditional cross-stitch embroidery, and the keffiyeh, which is a traditional headscarf. The freehand stitched designs, created with a sewing machine on water-soluble fabric, blend with multimedia layers on canvas or paper. This intertwining reflects women’s self-expression and diasporic identity. The torn and stitched layers symbolize the resilience of identity by tearing apart and using thread to stitch back together multimedia-painted layers on canvas or paper, showing the complexities of identity and the power of heritage.
