This tapestry shows egrets in rhythmic motion. The egret, long a symbol of balance and patience, becomes a chorus of different impressions connected by Nadra's weaving.
The tapestry is woven freehand at the Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Center. The leather body is hand saddle-stitched by Anette, giving the art a durable nest.
