I explore the embroidery hoop as a space for redefinition, engaging with an object historically linked to domestic labour and the feminine sphere. Working with second-hand clothing, fabrics, and pigments, I replace conventional stitching with gestures of burning, piercing, and cutting. These interventions reveal traces of wear and time, extending the language of embroidery beyond its decorative function. The hoop becomes a microcosm — a world suspended within a circle — reflecting cycles of change that unfold across every scale: from the cellular to the cosmic, from the personal to the collective.
