Image Statement: I embroidered the word "transmission" using my own hair, with a Lunéville crochet, onto a copper weaving. Copper, a conductive and industrial material, symbolizes modern communication, forming a vibrant network that evokes connectivity and the flow of information and energy. Hair, too, is a conductive fiber. It carries memory and identity through the DNA I inherited. This network of threads and knots becomes a poetic map of transmission across generations, uniting energy, heritage, and human legacy in a dialogue between an organic element and a human-shaped technical material.
