Textiles serve as vessels for the exploration of memory and history—both personal and collective in my practice. Through materials imbued with cultural and emotional resonance, I weave narratives that resist unraveling in the face of conflict, embracing the layered complexity of identity and heritage while evoking hope and subversion.

The act of puncturing fabric with embroidery needles is a deliberate gesture—an

intervention into the flow of time. Each stitch bridges fragmented memories, reimagining them as opportunities for new connections. These gestures transform textiles into "tactile archives," where the textures of history, emotion, and imagination converge. This archive is not static but alive—inviting touch, evoking emotion, and sparking dialogue between past and present.

Central to this archive are the birds and animals that often populate my surfaces. Each carrying its own resonance—cultural, symbolic, and personal. Cats evoke resilience and mystery, their presence steeped in folklore and domestic intimacy. Parrots, with their vibrant voices, represent communication and mimicry, reflecting the interplay between individual and collective expression. Sparrows, humble yet enduring, speak to themes of freedom, migration, and survival. These symbols, much like memory itself, hold multiple meanings shaped by their contexts and the hands that stitch them into the fabric.

By layering and repurposing materials, textures, and symbols, my work creates spaces where past, present and future converse. The intention is not to dictate fixed ideas of identity but to encourage a dynamic exploration—one that acknowledges identity as fluid, evolving, and interconnected. This process underscores the resilience of human imagination and the enduring power of textiles as mediums of expression, transformation and aspiration.
