This hand-embroidered piece brings together two powerful Palestinian motifs — the cypress tree and the Star of Bethlehem flower — each carrying its own story.
The cypress tree, tall and steadfast, is a symbol of endurance and eternal life. In Gaza, it stands as a quiet guardian — a reminder of strength, rootedness, and the will to remain. The Star of Bethlehem, delicate yet enduring, represents hope, light, and renewal — blooming each spring as a promise that beauty returns even after hardship.
Stitched using the traditional tatreez technique, every thread carries the rhythm of our heritage and the patience of generations of women who have embroidered their history into fabric.
