“Hideaway/” is a work of art that combines elements of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary themes of sanctuary and community care.
This work of art fuses metal and wire into a visual tapestry.
Delicately and meticulously embroidered on a sturdy metal grid, it manifests itself as a haven of peace and security, a symbol of comfort and protection.
The artist's choice to cover the metal grid with dots evokes the timeless tradition of feminine craftsmanship, symbolizing the nurturing instinct to repair. It reflects the universal desire for security and comfort.
Presented with an invitation for audience intervention, “Hideaway” encourages participation.
Viewers are invited to add their own stitches, further beautifying the shrine, and hide inside. This interactive element encourages reflection on the transformative power of care and touch.
Through collective effort, the rigid framework is softened and safety is redefined. As viewers engage with the work, questions emerge: how can tender gestures alter the hardest materials , giving them warmth and security?
