Diana Bitar's "Did You Say Your Grace Today?" (2024) is a 75 x 68 x 12.2 cm textile masterpiece crafted from hand-dyed and hand-pleated synthetic silk mounted on wool felt. The intricate pleats and vibrant gradients of green, yellow, and earth tones create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, evoking movement and fluidity. The thoughtful composition draws parallels to spiritual and natural themes, while the reflective title adds narrative depth. Inspired by textile innovators like Gabriel Dawe and Anni Albers, Bitar merges craft traditions with fine art sensibilities. Monumental in scale and bold in design, this piece is a striking focal point for exhibitions or interiors, exemplifying her innovative and introspective approach to textile art.
