Lily Razuki, ‘Our Roses are Pink’, Embroidery and Beads on Hemp Paper framed by Vintage Iraqi Stamps, 30 x 40cm, Photo by Cal Foster
A play on the phrase “roses are red”, the Arabic translates to “our roses are pink.” The National Flower of Iraq is the red rose, but my memories are full of my Bibi cuddling me while tending to her garden of pink roses. Sitting on Jidou’s prayer-mat, mimicking a Queen on a playing-card, I honour my Queen Bibi.
