Photo of an panel of text about the colours used in the embroidery. "Red is the colour with which Palestinian embroidery is most strongly associated and different regions were known for particular shades. Ramallah and Jaffa areas favoured wine-red thread, women from Hebron preferred burnt sienna, and Gazan embroiderers a scarlet fuschia. Such beautiful embroidery could provoke the evil eye or invite misfortune (as perfection might "tempt fate"), women would introduce touches of "imperfection" to their work, often in the form of a mismatching colour".

A black embroidered dress, around the bottom from perhaps the knee down are rows of blue motifs. The chest panel is intricate mostly red stitched "Qamar wa qalayed" motif, this is a Bedouin motif meaning moon and necklaces, it is a diamond shaped pattern.

Photo of 3 embroidered Palestinian outfits. 1 white with ornate embroidery around the chest/neckline and strips of stitching down the outer leg area, the embroidery is mostly red. Another white dress has three quarter length embroidered sleeves, with a larger area embroidered down the outer leg, and a very intricate embroidered area over the chest area. The other dress is a very dark blue with very ornate, full embroidered chest area and dense stitching down the outer leg.

Norbert Bisky, Leipzig 1970, Witches' swing, 2005, Oil on canvas. At first glance, the depictions of young, athletic men by the Leipzig-born artist evoke a variety of associations: The idealised, heroic imagery alludes to the propaganda of totalitarian regimes and at the same time refers to Bisky's own experiences growing up in the GDR. This complex interweaving of personal biography and social criticism characterises Bisky's work and raises both historical and contemporary issues. This is also the case in Witches' swing: the idyllic scenery, painted in emphatically bright colours, is confronted with the depiction of extreme violence in the form of the tied-up woman. At the time the work was created, the femicide of Hatun Sürücü made headlines in Berlin in 2005. With the bound female figure, Bisky refers not only symbolically to this act of violence, but also to the far-reaching history of the ostracisation of women, which is already alluded to in the title of the picture.

A hyper-realistic color landscape photo of a flower that points up. The flower springs from a stem that crosses the bottom of the frame. The flower is in the upper left. It is fairly flat with white petals. It has a yellow center. Fine hairs or possibly thorns grow from the stem supporting the flower. The flower is backlit.
