ENTANGLEMENT (15x30cm cotton thread on fabric) by @joanna.barakat.art
Through the medium of Palestinian cross-stitch hand embroidery, the joining of the two identical yet separate motifs represents the concept of entanglement. The theory of quantum entanglement states that even if two particles are physically separated, they can still be connected. Karmic entanglement also speaks of the connection regardless of space or time between individuals, an individual to a group of people, or an individual to a belief. In this piece, traditional rules of the symbolic language of Palestinian embroidery are broken and a new translation of the motif is formulated. By understanding entanglement in visual or symbolic terms, an opportunity is created to consider the connecting force or frequency and recognize it as love. Threads emerge from and connect to the four squares centered in each motif, resembling the four chambers of the heart, removing the illusion of separateness while leaving behind the ultimate essence of oneness.
