This project, developed using the C programming language and the MiniLibX library, is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Palestinian embroidery. Inspired by the remarkable work of Tirazain in digitizing and preserving traditional Palestinian embroidery patterns, known as Tatreez, this program brings these intricate designs to life in the digital world.
Palestinian embroidery, with its detailed patterns and vibrant history, has been a significant medium of expression and identity for centuries. Each pattern tells a unique story, rich with cultural significance and historical context. The digitization efforts by Tirazain not only help in preserving these patterns but also make them accessible to a global audience, thus promoting a deeper appreciation of Palestinian culture.

Educate and Inspire: I hope to educate viewers about Palestinian culture through these digital representations and inspire them to explore the traditions behind these patterns.
