Weaving
Weaving, as a metaphor of identity and a national heritage from my country, has been my greatest source of inspiration. I am twisting and connecting a group of strings together like old memories which lay imbedded within my mind. The individual fragments become a complex whole by intersecting each other. Dusty and rusty layers of concrete bind them together, structure and strengthen the fragile body of the work.
