This sculptural piece, a tribute to a strong woman, is made from reclaimed materials including industrial bearings, steel, an aluminum bicycle rim, paper clips, and sewing thread.

It is a portrait made using sewing thread based on a 1940s graduation photo, creating a nostalgic black and white photo effect. This portrait, inspired by Petros Vrellis' pioneering work, uses 2km of black sewing thread, 100 paper clips, and is set inside an aluminum bicycle rim. The frame, a metal sculpture, showcases a round industrial bearing atop an arc, embodying simplicity and balance. The seamless integration of the portrait within the frame highlights that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
