I was there but I wasn’t there(21 Jan 2022)
6 pieces, 23cm*23cm, lambswool yarns and fabric, 2022
These pieces are related to my perception of people. Everyone’s life looks perfect except me. I adopt the round shape as a meaning of perfection. But as time goes by, I have realized every person has its shape inside them. Even though I am struggling to close with other bubbles, I am interested in them, and still, there are many possibilities to become friends with them. Furthermore, Embroidery and needling are good meditation methods, especially yarns giving me warmth.
