Impressions & Exhibitions

Berlin Atonal 2025: The moon, The tree of life, Stars, Graves, Borders; each piece in 100x200cm. Inspired by Palestinan embroidery used in the Tatreez Berlin project, that I have been doing since 2019 in various locations in Berlin and recently in @dammweg216. The motives date back several centuries. I used metal fences and ship ropes. The works were curated by Adriano Rosselli, Berlin Atonal GmbH and would not have been possible without his fantastic team.
