Thread to Cloth

I am my grandmother's dream and she is mine. We exist together through Tatreez, Indigenous Palestinian Embroidery. Today while creating new artwork, I decided to turn it into a beautiful background for a quote.

A Year in Review

As we move forward, we bring with us those affected by genocides, past and present, around the globe...and in so doing, we grieve unconceivable losses to humanity and our mother-planet. Through art and poetry, my work mourns violence against humanity and strives to uncover new perceptions through the lens of culture, love, loss, grief and rage. Through artistic activism, I process deep emotion, dream my people free, and seek out new futures.

Published work in 2024:

• 15 Poems
• 1 Queer Tatreez Visual Poem
• 1 Visual Poetic Poem
• 2 Flash Nonfiction Pieces
• 1 Article/Blog
• 2 Queer Tatreez Visual Art Pieces

I am my grandmothers’ dream, and she is mine. We exist together through Tatreez, Indigenous Palestinian textiles and embroidery. Together, we share cultural memory, ancestral wisdom, and visions of new futures. Thank you to the journals and magazines that have supported my work and my voice. I am deeply grateful to represent my family and homeland through art and poetry. I admire your courage and resolve in showcasing Indigenous Palestinian voices during this turbulent and violent time. It means so much to me to be included, beside so many talented creators, within the pages of your publications.
