The Makateeb (مكاتيب, meaning “messages”) pattern originated in Gaza in the late 1800s. It was traditionally used to encode personal stories, emotions and symbols into geometric form — a textile language created to carry and share messages.

The SEP Artists chose this pattern for its meaning, and then they made it their own: many of the embroidered “messages” are intentionally left incomplete — a quiet, powerful gesture in memory of the children lost since October 7th.
