A gold sari from India traveled to Iran in 1962 to become a party dress and went to two weddings before coming to me ten years later!!

Photographs of my grandmother taken in Aleppo in 1920s at a unique moment in history and some shiny objects are caught between two layers of spider stitched black tulle in 2016 by me!
