Free‑motion machine embroidery / viscose, copper, monofilament line, and horsehair (150cm x 30cm x 200cm)

Through embroidery, childhood memories of a place are brought into view across different time periods. A meaningful place becomes a part of who we are. Places are not fixed; they are layered in time—transient, changing, disappearing, and continually renewing. Our relationship to a place shifts according to circumstances. The same place can appear differently to a person as situations and stages of life change.Places of memory are both subjective and collective. They may continue to exist in the minds of people even after they have physically disappeared. Memories themselves, however, are not permanent: over time they transform, bend, and gradually become gauzy and blurred.
