Paper collage with embroidery and machine stitch creates a rich tapestry of memory and history. The recycled paper and wool yarn, combined with old photographs, evoke a sense of nostalgia and a connection to the past. The intricate stitching and embroidery invite us to examine the threads that bind our family histories, exploring the relationships and experiences that shape who we are. The combination of soft and hard materials, the contrast between the frayed and the neat, speaks to the complexities of family and memory. This piece invites us to reflect on our own family stories and the memories that make us who we are, reminding us of the power of shared history and the beauty of familial bonds.
