This artwork uses high-quality linen canvas and ochre bamboo and silk threads to symbolise Ina's life in Australia, capturing the interplay of colour and texture.
The subtle fusion of threads creates a layered, dynamic composition, reflecting the complexity of Ina's evolving identity. Through the meditative process of embroidery, the piece invites viewers to consider the ongoing nature of personal transformation and the layers of experience that shape one’s sense of self. The work embodies a quiet yet powerful narrative of adaptation and belonging.
This piece is one of two, together they were created to work as a diptych.
