This collage explores the importance of finding common threads rather than continually amplifying what divides us. Constructed from layered fabrics, fibers, painted papers, acrylic, and ink, the piece weaves together bold patterns and contrasting forms—distinct yet interconnected. In a time when so much of today’s narrative feels polarized, the overlapping textures suggest something deeper: shared needs, shared vulnerabilities, and shared hopes. We all inhabit the same planet and depend on many of the same systems to survive. This work celebrates the connective strands that bind us, reminding us that unity often exists just beneath the surface.
