About this piece


In Threads of Jerusalem, the artist uses the slow, mindful process of embroidery to reflect the layers of memory, history, and faith woven into the city itself. Rather than depicting Jerusalem’s iconic landmarks, the work celebrates the quiet beauty of its narrow streets, textured stone walls, and hidden corners. Delicate threads bring warmth and movement, while embroidered greenery symbolises resilience, hope, and renewal emerging from ancient architecture. The artwork invites viewers to reframe their perspective, discovering beauty, meaning, and life in the often-overlooked spaces where Jerusalem’s deepest stories quietly unfold.
