FEMINA SERIES- The Hands that Shape

In these compositions made from repurposed quilts, I explore the complexity of feminine existence—unseen labor, inner rhythms, resilience, and transformation. A quiet but powerful presence, the feminine force often goes unnoticed, yet it shapes and redefines everything around it.

Details:

This work evokes hands in motion, shaping and building. Fragmented and overlapping forms suggest movement. A subtle lunar presence, half-concealed within the composition, accompanies this ongoing process, a quiet witness to the daily act of making.

The process: Upcycling becomes more than reuse; it’s transformation.

These materials carry their own stories, and by giving them new life, I add layers of history and meaning to my work.

In the process I cut, present and sew together the fragments using a wide zigzag stitch or similar.
