Portrait, A Stitch of Soul

This is not a photograph, nor is it a painting. It is a dialogue, crystallized in the texture of threads. I take an image—your photograph, a gaze, a smile, a moment—and enter into a quiet conversation with it. My tools are a needle and a thousand hues of thread. Each stitch is a word in this dialogue; each new color is a shade of emotion. What emerges is a portrait that defies replication. It is alive, breathing, and astonishingly tactile. Thanks to a complex palette and the interplay of light, it will continue to reveal itself to you from new angles, like a living organism in which you can always discover a previously unseen detail.
