40 Days is an installation part of my ongoing project Textures of Grief. It began with weaving - a slow, repetitive act that offered structure and steadiness in a time of loss. It became a way to sit with grief, to make space for it without needing to fix or explain it. The loom held what couldn’t yet be put into words. In time, some of those words began to surface.

This process resulted in a 9-metre-long woven work, a glass sculpture, a series of paintings, and a collection of thoughts. Each piece traces the shape of memory and absence, and the quiet effort of making sense of what feels uncertain.

Together, these works form a record of reflection. A glimpse into the process of mourning and repair. A way of staying close to what’s difficult, and finding, slowly, how to keep going.
