In my embroidery works, I explore the relationship between thread and different surfaces, focusing on making every stage—from material selection to the performative act of production—part of the narrative. I use embroidery as a method of recording thought and emotion. Each stitch becomes a trace; each pattern forms an invisible bond of “now” that connects past and present.
