Jerusalem Beauty

. Some traditions are preserved in museums. Others survive because women continue to practice them. Threads of Palestine is an original HAMA artwork honoring the Palestinian women who have carried culture, memory, and identity from one generation to the next through the language of tatreez. With Jerusalem as its grounding presence, the work brings together land, women, and embroidery , three inseparable threads of Palestinian cultural heritage. The artwork is an original HAMA composition and proprietary design, created exclusively for HAMA and protected as HAMA intellectual property. The artwork is offered in three editions: -Canvas Edition , the original artwork printed on artist canvas. -Partially Embroidered Edition : selected areas are embroidered by hand directly onto the canvas, creating a dialogue between image and thread. -Fully Embroidered Edition : extensive hand embroidery is worked directly into the canvas, transforming the original composition into a richly textured textile artwork. The embroidered editions are hand-stitched by Palestinian women artisans, allowing the very tradition depicted in the artwork to become part of its physical creation. Available framed or unframed, with each edition priced according to its level of hand embroidery. An image of heritage, made with the very craft that keeps that heritage alive.
