On the workbench, three-dimensional structures and dolls, made through stitching, are scattered around, capturing moments of daily life. These pieces, created stitch by stitch, intertwine with each other, building layered spaces, much like how time overlaps to create new memories. Just as threads are woven together to form fabric, these different spaces intertwine to create a unified structure. The scattered three-dimensional pieces on the workbench form a landscape that feels as though time and memory have been intricately woven together. In this way, these woven spaces become a cradle that embraces memory.
작업대 위에는 바느질로 만들어진 입체 구조물과 인형들이 흩어져 있다. 일상의 모습을 스케치하듯 한 땀 한 땀 만들어진 이들은 서로 얽히며 겹겹이 쌓여, 마치 시간이 중첩되듯 새로운 공간을 만들어낸다. 씨실과 날실이 엮여 하나의 직물이 되듯, 이 공간들도 서로 엮이며 하나의 구조를 이룬다. 시간과 기억이 촘촘히 쌓여 만들어진 이 풍경은 단순한 작업 공간을 넘어, 기억을 품고 감싸는 요람이 된다.
