Artist statement

I am a sculptural embroidery artist. In my travels around the world, I have learned from different cultures about ways of life, worldviews, and the role of crafts. I feel that embroidery and nature are timeless threads that connect us all. My creations are inspired by nature; it is my primary vocabulary. I embroider by hand and with a sewing machine. From a two-dimensional form, I create a three-dimensional object, focusing on textures, shades, and details. My embroideries hold philosophical and emotional experiences, expressing the passage of time and the beauty of imperfection. They tell stories of identity, crisis, and hope.
