These wall hangings, created from recycled and donated fabrics, are personal acts of assembly—communicating through and beyond their physical form. Each scrap of fabric holds its own history, stitched together to reflect shared emotional landscapes.
The absence of space between the fabrics speaks to how emotions can feel—crowded, tangled, and hard to separate. It's a visual metaphor for the complexity of our human experience.
To gather insight for these pieces, I surveyed 100 people, asking a series of questions—one of which focused on the emotions different colors evoke.
Regardless of background, belief, or identity, there’s a common thread that runs through us: our shared capacity to feel. That emotional connection is a bridge—one that can unify us when we allow space for our experiences rather than letting them divide us.
By rejecting fast fashion and using repurposed materials, these works become a quiet form of resistance to an industry known for pollution and displacement. Through vibrant color and playful form, I aim to express a collective emotional rhythm. These pieces are both a call and a record—an invitation to mend, to repurpose, to find common ground, and to imagine a more compassionate future where our differences become the fabric that binds us.
