“Germination” , part of “Inner Landscapes”
textile series:
My textile series as part of the "Inner Landscapes" builds on my photography work, using printed images as a base to create in a more active gestural art. The act of sewing brings me into a meditative state, clearing distractions and turning emotional into a purposeful "mindful disturbance action" that frees my thoughts and emotions in all directions, allowing them to unfold organically without forced resolution and immediate external influences.
Nature inspires my work because it embodies both chaos and harmony—untamed yet resilient. Its unpredictable forms mirror the emotional state, reflecting the process of self-discovery and emotional release. Just as nature adapts but remains free at its core, my creative process allows emotions and thoughts to evolve naturally, without constraint.
In this, I hope to leave room for a wide freedom of interpretation, allowing the viewer to explore their own emotional responses and personal reflections without being confined to my single, prescribed meaning.
