Nassar collaborated with craftswomen living and working in Ramallah to create monumental, multi-panel embroideries inspired by paired elemental forces: earth/water and fire/air. The craftswomen lay the foundations of his panoramas and Nassar then embroiders multicolored landscapes within their intricate geometric grids; creating a dialogue through an exchange of visual ideas. Nassar has doubled the size of his past work to create these four-panel works, each with a patterned border that contains sections of a continuous landscape.

In "A Stream Is Singing Under The Youthful Grass," Nassar’s rolling green hills are stacked vertically and a peachy sky peeks out from the rectangles that house it. Nassar positioned the forms low to the ground, mirroring the elemental force that inspired the work. Each vista functions as a window within a dense scrim of pattern, which obscures and reveals at turns. The central mountainscape straddles two panels at the centerline, existing in both spaces at once.
