Woven Women, explores the intricacies of identity, memory, and myth through feminine lenses—cultural, emotional, and ancestral. Each composition layers vintage ephemera, found objects, photographic assemblage, acrylic paint, gemstones, appropriated imagery and iconic symbols, weaving personal narrative with collective history. The “woven” in this work is literal and metaphorical: threads of memory, heritage, longing, and reinvention bind each figure. They are not just vessels, but makers—of stories, of homes, of selves. Together, they form a tapestry of resilience and wonder.
