$167.00
Home is Family: Love that Crosses Borders
This hand-embroidered portrait, created by a refugee woman at Alsama Studio, features a gentle smile surrounded by vibrant, blooming embroidery. It is a celebration of family bonds—those who remain close, and those separated by conflict.
For this artist, the meaning of home shifted from a place to the people she loves. Her stitches are filled with longing, love, and hope for reunion.
“The war was a barrier between us and our loved ones. I embroidered a picture of my family because they are my role models in life. I hope that wars around the world will end because people deserve to live in peace.”
Every thread in this piece is a tribute to the enduring power of family—no matter the distance, their love remains stitched into her heart.
