Image Statement: A contemplative collection of vessels and fragments, Deconstructed Cycles explores the mirrored rhythms of plant life and emotional landscapes. Using hand-felted wool, flax, and ramie—materials chosen for their organic memory and textural vulnerability—I reflect on decay, transformation, and renewal. Each form is shaped through a meditative felting process that embraces collapse as part of creation. The piece invites a slow reading of embodied grief and growth, tracing the invisible labor of inner and ecological change. Rooted in an ecofeminist ethos, these objects act as soft reliquaries for what is shed and what persists.
