Torn and stitched, identities reclaimed,
Resilience sewn in each vibrant frame.
Through women's self-expression, culture unfolds,
The power of heritage, a work that consoles.
ABSTRACT ECHOES
Hussaini reinterprets Palestinian identity through contemporary Tatreez, a traditional cross-stitch embroidery and the keffiyeh, which is a traditional headscarf. Her 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 the diasporic identity. The torn and stitched layers symbolize the resilience of identity, demonstrating the complex interplay of cultural heritage and socio-political awareness in the face of diaspora.
