From one thing to another (Jordan, Jerash)

In the souks of Jerash , Jordan , the embroidered dresses called tatreez are not just handcrafted objects. They bear the signs of a tribal or regional identity , expressed through the colors, patterns, and arrangement of threads. These garments are often made by women but sold by men. Sitting among the fabrics, this man with a frank gaze and a beard as long as the threads he displays embodies this role of cultural transmitter . His silhouette is part of a decor of vertical embroidery , like a link between body, tradition, and textiles .
