Still life 1
(100x100cm mixed media)
While organizing my fabric shelves, I stumbled upon solutions to old, open problems.
To complete some long-forgotten, unfinished project, I could now use that long-orphaned piece of garment — tucked away, waiting.
So I began pairing found fabrics with unfinished thoughts, abandoned sketches, paused ideas.
It became a quiet game — a solitary cleanup of loose ends, woven with small, surprising resolutions.

All the mini thoughts that didn’t make it — the ones lost to trials and errors —
fell into a mysterious, purgatory-like abyss.
Years later, I found them again.
Lovingly stitched onto the pockets of small jackets,
tucked into the inner linings —
quietly sewn from little squares of linen and silk
collected from all over the world.
They had been preserved, unknowingly,
in secret compartments of care.

As I studied the composition in my fabric patchwork,
my eye landed on an isolated, out-of-the-way segment.
Something about it caught me —
but I decided to inspect it later.
The next day, I gave it my ear.
I listened.
And I sensed it was holding something —
a cluster of hidden stories, tightly sealed.
The seam was too tight.
But the moment I undid it,
a sea of untold stories surged out,
flooding the silence with everything it had held back.
