Butterfly Dream

This work is created based on my dream. I was butterfly and found a flower. It looked so lonely that I wanted to give a hug.

it is large scale of embroidery work. It looks a normal painting from distance but you can see it is stitched when closer.

I draw a moment captured in my mind in stitch from. I believe that every stitches spread across the screen holds my craftsmanship. You will feel the repetitive gesture of stitches are echoing the time.
