Message from a near past

Message from a near past- white flag.
Dozens of used textile pieces are woven together into a labyrinth, creating a meditative installation of an illusionary laundry poem. The piece highlights the value of sustainability and mindful craftsmanship in an area that was once known for its small scale silk and textile industry. The white textiles and embroidery symbolize innocence and surrender to the unknown, inviting us to contemplate the quiet resilience found in everyday objects.

Made for Nakanojo Bienniale 2025 in Sawatarikan.
