About the artist -
“I am a textile artist specializing in embroidery. My creative medium choice is a celebration of traditional women’s work. My embroidery represents the voice of every woman who loves expressing her artistic and aesthetic needs through this medium, whether they are aristocrats or the poor, those who had to be creative to survive. However, for me, embroidering is not resisting; it is an act of freedom and personal expansion.”
