Textures of grief

The two woven pieces represent an attempt to translate my relationship with grief and mourning through textile. By intuitively weaving white threads together on a loom, I investigated the meaning of warp and weft in relation to life and death. The broken pieces of glass chaotically ripped the weft. While the glass falls to the ground, some pieces remain entangled with the threads and become part of the fabric. The ripped woven pieces are peacefully hanging still.
