Embroidered Memory Mixed Media

Embroidered Memory is a striking mixed-media portrait where memory and heritage intertwine. The figure’s skin is adorned with hand-drawn patterns inspired by traditional Romanian embroidery, echoing the motifs found on folk costumes. These symbolic stitches transform the body into a living canvas of cultural continuity, weaving past and present into a single expressive surface.
With bold contrasts, textured layers, and vivid accents, the work invites viewers to reflect on how identity is shaped by inherited traditions. Both intimate and universal, this piece stands as a contemporary homage to ancestral craft and collective memory.
