About the Artist
Jordan Nassar, born in 1985 in New York City, is an American artist whose intricate and poignant practice revolves around hand-embroidered textiles. Of Palestinian descent, Nassar utilizes traditional Palestinian cross-stitch (tatreez) techniques, but reinterprets them through a contemporary lens. His works feature geometric patterns, stylized landscapes, and often include Arabic text, creating a dialogue between historical craft and modern abstraction. Nassar's art subtly explores themes of cultural heritage, national identity, diaspora, and the concept of an imagined homeland. Each piece is a meticulously crafted meditation on memory, belonging, and the enduring power of cultural traditions in a globalized world, inviting viewers to contemplate narratives both personal and collective.
