| Bahrain
Cross stitch embroidery inspired by the ancient Palestinian art. The Palestinian embroidery is designs of geometric shapes that fit together according to a calculated matrix. It embraces a harmonic relationship between color and shape.

| | Lama Sakhnini: Since I was a little girl, I have learnt the cross stitch work from my aunts. I have performed many tapestry pieces inspired by the Palestinian tradition. My designs carry the colors and lines of my native land, Palestine. I have inherited this kind of art from thousands of generations that lived on that land. I always try to create new designs inspired from old motifs on traditional women dresses. I am currently a physics professor at University of Bahrain and Art for me is a precious hobby...
