Description:
This artwork transforms the UAE’s national flower, the Tribulus Omanense, into a necklace that carries both memory and rhythm. The composition flows along sine wave patterns, evoking the pulse of continuity.  A reminder of how tradition bends but never breaks. Maroon, beige, and blue ribbons entwine across the surface, their interplay suggesting the meeting of desert soil, woven craft, and open sky. Golden patterns shimmer in the background, not as ornament but as quiet echoes of heritage, catching the light like fleeting moments of memory.
 
Woven into the design are subtle gestures inspired by Al-Sadu weaving.  A craft that embodies community, patience, and identity. Here, those patterns are reimagined, bridging the act of weaving with the act of adornment. The necklace is no longer just jewelry but becomes a vessel for cultural resonance: fragile yet enduring, simple yet profound.
 
Threads of the Blooming Dune invites viewers to see the national flower not only as a symbol of resilience in arid landscapes, but also as a motif of belonging. A bloom that, like heritage itself, is carried close to the heart.
