Interconnectedness (2023). Silk embroidery on cotton.

In this pivotal moment in our existence, as we bear witness to planetary devastation driven by human progress and the conveniences of daily life. Despite our unprecedented access to vast knowledge and global connectivity, we find ourselves entangled in the thick of ‘wicked problems’— complex challenges arising from the interplay of geographical, historical, socio-cultural, economic, and ecological factors. As we navigate these intricacies, the embroidery work invites you to pause, offering a moment of stillness. How can we untangle the complexities we’ve stitched into the fabric of our world? This delicate craft prompts reflection on our interconnectedness and the urgent need to address the intricate threads of our shared challenges. Together, let’s pause and reimagine a more sustainable and harmonious future.
