Process & Medium
Each piece begins as an original photograph, printed on cardstock paper. The image is then hand-embroidered with thread—adding texture, depth, and symbolic weight. This tactile overlay transforms the image into something uniquely lived and layered. No two are alike.
The Meaning in the Making
By blending photography and embroidery, these works bridge craft and image-making. The thread slows the viewer’s gaze, offering a quiet counterpoint to the digital world. It connects past and present, the handmade and the mechanical—turning still images into meditations on time, care, and place.
