Artist Comments

At the center of this mixed media composition is a layered flap, stitched at the bottom and partially concealing what lies beneath. The fabric is moveable, encouraging physical interaction with the piece. When lifted, it reveals a hidden photo and further abstract textures beneath, adding a storytelling element and surprise reveal. 

 The overall effect is tactile, immersive, and intimate—inviting the viewer to not only look but touch, explore, and uncover hidden meanings.
