Turning to a storied Armenian tradition, Zaruhi Zakarian sews patterns into cloth, showing branching trees made of colorful threads. The images, along with collages and paintings, suggest hope, she says, that her missing son Robert will return. He is one of some 200 Armenian soldiers missing in action since the 2020 war with Azerbaijan.
