Threading My Story

Artist Statement

This visual narrative intricately explores my journey of healing from an abusive relationship through a minimalist approach to line art. Composed of four images sewn together, each stage—”She & Him,” “She Cries,” “She’s Free,” and “She Thinks”—is represented by a delicate red thread, symbolizing both the pain and resilience that threads through the fabric of my identity.
