Microcosm reinterprets the embroidery hoop, an object traditionally associated with domestic labour and feminine craft, as a space for sculptural experimentation.

Using second-hand textiles, I replace conventional stitching with burning, melting, piercing and cutting. These processes transform soft fabrics into intricate, semi-rigid surfaces, revealing forms that resemble cellular structures, damaged tissue and organic growth.

Contained within the circular frame, each composition becomes a microcosm in which destruction and creation occur simultaneously. The work explores how a familiar domestic material can acquire an entirely different identity through physical transformation.
