In his recent monumental embroideries, Nassar has extended their scale upwards, connecting multiple richly patterned panels and interspersed landscapes to create a complete image. The composition "Beyond the Boundaries", 2022, is activated at its center. Twinned central panels are each framed by negative space, leading into panels of more highly abstracted decorative motifs that recall diamonds and florals, flanked by cyprus tree patterning in alternating light and dark blue. Nassar approaches each embroidery as if he was piecing together panels in a puzzle, fitting them together harmoniously to create a unified composition from disparate parts.

Nassar brings into play both the interior and exterior in these collaborative works, creating fictive spaces upon which our imaginations can be projected. Color is the building block for his own hand-embroidered rolling hills, in addition to that of his long-time collaborators; craftswomen living and working in Bethlehem, Ramallah, and Hebron in the West Bank.
