About This Artwork
A diptych honoring the cedar tree, a universal “super tree” with cultural roots in Lebanon, and a majestic, god like presence that crosses all cultures. The mighty cedars stand high but grow horizontally- and so as a diptych, with embroidered layers of loose hanging threads, these two cushions seek to capture up close the grand tiered silhouette of a cedar.
New, excellent

About Bokja
"Established in 2000 and founded by Huda Baroudi and Maria Hibri, Bokja was born from the female duo’s shared passion for furniture, textiles, art and design. 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. The two married their expertise and knowledge of traditional craftsmanship and started out Bokja reupholstering vintage furniture found in antique stores and flea markets with precious fabrics from the region."
