Holding Pattern

Grounded, radiant, and quietly powerful, this print is inspired by Lebanese tatreez — a traditional form of embroidery rooted in pattern, repetition, and meaning. Each shape carries a sense of intention, building a visual language that speaks to memory, protection, and continuity. At the center, a blooming form sits within a field of expanding energy — a sunburst that radiates outward while the surrounding geometric motifs hold it in place. This balance between expansion and containment reflects the act of staying rooted while growing, of being held while moving forward. Created in a hand-drawn, block-print style, this piece honors the structure and symbolism of tatreez while translating it into a bold, modern composition. It carries a sense of rhythm and steadiness — something to live with, return to, and draw strength from. A grounding piece for a home, studio, or workspace. Especially resonant for those seeking protection, calm, and a deeper connection to cultural memory and craft.
