Nokshi Katha : Bird (Pakhi) 薄葉紙

A reimagining of traditional Bangladeshi nokshi katha embroidery — where every stitch once told a story. This artwork depicts two stylized birds facing each other, surrounded by curling vines, tiny stars, and floral motifs inspired by rural Bengal’s folk artistry. The warm palette of terracotta red, mustard gold, and teal blue echoes the natural dyes once used in handmade quilts. In nokshi katha tradition, birds often symbolized love, freedom, and companionship — stitched by women as blessings for home and family. This modern interpretation keeps that heritage alive, turning needlework storytelling into contemporary art for prints, phone cases, and home décor. Rooted in Bangladesh. Designed for the world.
