In the Cyclical Pattern of Place ~ 🪡

​

In this series of meditative works, it continues the exploration of transience—tracing nature’s cyclical rhythms, where each pattern tenderly stitches form back into being. This evolving body of work marks a transition from my earlier map-based pieces to something more personal: for the first time, I am working with photographs I have collected myself, weaving them into my stitched practice.

These collected images hold the quiet presence of what was once fleeting—sunlight filtering through trees, the soft lines of a landscape, the moon in different phases... Each image becomes a thread, each stitch a gesture of care, a way of holding on and letting go.

As the series continues to evolve, these new works are shown alongside pieces that still carry the presence of maps—bridging what has been with what’s now unfolding. This transition feels like the beginning of a larger body of work—its direction still unknown but rich with quiet discovery.

The act of stitching remains a slow, repetitive, intuitive and almost meditative process. Each thread connects fragments of memory and place, allowing moments to resurface and find new form. It’s a practice of dwelling in the space of becoming—to trust, to surrender, and to let the work take shape in its own time.

Collected across seasons☀️ 🌳 🪻☁️ 🧵 these pieces echo the cyclical nature of time, each stitch a moment held in place, a delicate tracing of the impermanent—a nod to the transient beauty of all things. As Eugene Ionesco so aptly expressed...
