As the bright moon gracefully illuminates the night, it carries with it a darker side, a side that is unseen, yet integral to its beauty. In this new year, we embrace both our light and our shadow, knowing that our strength lies in accepting all facets of who we are. This past year has been a challenging one for Lebanon. Hardship has tested us, yet the Lebanese spirit never faltered.

This tapestry is a celebration of our ability to rise, to heal, and to persevere. Together we shine forward

About Bokja

While Huda has spent her life collecting fabrics from the Silk Road, Maria is an expert in antique pieces of furniture with a hidden beauty.
