In a world where the textile industry significantly impacts our environment, I am committed to exploring and evolving within my craft, ensuring that my art not only captures the essence of nature’s beauty but also contributes to the preservation of our planet. My journey is one of continuous learning, seeking out eco-friendly techniques and materials that align with my ethos. Through my natural processes and techniques, I strive to remind us of the preciousness of our natural surroundings and the importance of maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the earth. It is my hope that my creations inspire a deeper appreciation for the environment and encourage a more sustainable way of living.
