My exploration of material and cloth is central to this solo show. Rooted in quilt-making and garment forms, these works explore the memory of the body, a presence felt through its absence. By transforming textiles into sculptural forms, I invite the viewer to imagine the traces of bodies and histories that are no longer visible but remain present in memory.
The exhibition presents my journey into textiles as sculptural expressions. Each piece is layered, stitched, or worn, becoming vessels for stories incomplete, unspoken, or erased. Some of the stories are me making sense of my personal narrative. Alongside highlighting historical struggles particularly those surrounding LGBTQ+ identities.
Through these works, I reflect on how material can hold memory, embody absence, and speak to what remains unseen.
