Artist’s Statement
Threads of Transformation explores impermanence and the circular nature of life. I was inspired by the idea that we are each just a dot—briefly present, observing and experiencing within a much larger pattern. The layered, symmetrical design reflects cycles of growth, change, and return, while the vibrant threads represent the energy and emotion we carry through those transitions. I wanted the piece to feel both grounded and expansive, like a moment suspended in motion. The butterflies add a sense of lightness and transformation, reminding us that nothing stays the same for long. Creating this work was a meditative process, allowing me to reflect on how we move through time, how we connect, and how we let go.
