Refugee Series
The news of refugees in Europe and Africa describe the desperate attempts by people willing to endure dangerous crossings to escape harsh political and socioeconomic conditions affected me deeply. This motivated me to use found images and embroidery to explore their humanity. My intention is to create a first impression that reads as purely aesthetic and then challenge that assumption with embedded details that hint at the human condition.
