I am interested in embroidery not only as a craft practice, but as a form of recording. Each stitch holds patience, labour, and care, allowing stories and personal histories to be held within cloth. Through this process, embroidery becomes a way to honour lives and experiences that might otherwise remain unseen or unspoken.

There is also a sense of discovery in the work, the thrill of clarifying and making visible another person’s life, almost like detective work. Fragments, conversations, photographs, objects, and memories are slowly pieced together through stitching. I am drawn to the process of uncovering small details that reveal something essential about a person, their experiences, and the traces they leave behind.

The repetitive rhythm of embroidery creates space for reflection and connection, linking past and present, family and community, memory and material. Through thread, I create intimate archives that preserve stories with care.
