Unravelling insects

My textile installations, “The Unraveling of Insects,” visually represent the intertwined relationship between humans and insects and encourages a tactile connection to our environment.
Enlarged insect images, woven with old fishing nets, draw attention
to the striking abundance of nature and the ultimate fragility of their existence, emphasizing the physical loss through unraveling threads. This approach is a powerful metaphor for the potential ecological threat that may occur if we neglect insects’ well-being.
