"My favorite medium is fiber art and conceptual collage, where I treat repurposed clothing as a 'second skin' rich with human history. I focus on hand-stitching as a temporal signature, connecting past and present through every needle hole. This process transforms simple assembly into a rebirth of forgotten emotions. By using buttons and threads, I create a dialogue between union and detachment, aiming to restore meaning and preserve equilibrium within chaos."

My inspiration flows from the 'fleeting moment' and the weight of time held within discarded objects. I find my Muse in the silence of an absolute pause, where a needle’s path becomes a journey of resistance against oblivion. I am inspired by the dialogue between the firmness of a stitch and the patience of a buttonhole—a symbolic restoration of the self. For me, every thread is a bridge between eras, turning forgotten materials into a tangible trace of existence.

With $25,000, I would dedicate myself entirely to my craft, securing the time and resources needed to advance my artistic journey. I plan to curate solo exhibitions that serve as a visceral stage for the stories of war victims. By integrating their actual clothing into my hand-stitched collages, I aim to transform fabric into a living archive of human resilience. This funding will allow me to amplify these silent voices, turning personal loss into a global narrative of peace.
