Geometry carries memory

Every band has a job

Plain ground steadies the rhythm; the central shajarah holds the story.

The loom sets the language

Warp-faced strips turn stars, dunes, and wusum into stepped marks.

Colour stays close to earth

Madder, indigo, onion skin, and undyed fibre remain legible in dust and shade.

A seam is part of the design

Strips are sewn edge to edge, making construction visible instead of hiding the hand.
