‘Sabr’ صبر (Patience), 2023, Print on Paper - 23.4 x 33.1"

The fabric is embroidered with the word ‘Sabr’ (patience). The embroidery process was both time-consuming and meticulous, yet there is a peculiar joy in observing the piece evolve incrementally. Some days proved to be arduous and lengthy, while others offered a cathartic and meditative respite.
I enveloped my body in the embroidered fabric and let water gently dissolve the material, revealing the stitches on a translucent fabric beneath.
This process highlighted my physical form and underscored my body's inherent vulnerability.
