Blue Anemone, 2023
"Each stitch tells its story. Each time I pierce the paper to create these delicate embroidered knots of colour, I make a wish. I intentionally removed the colours of the original photographs to plunge into eternity and let the flowers die metaphorically. Then I offer them a new life, ethereal, resuscitating them by colouring in parts of the photographs with pastels and ink. Each image is unique and charged with secrets and emotions. One after the other, they form a thread of life, of emotions and memories.”
