Roses, flowering rush & the sunflowers

The background of the roses is a prepared canvas composed of various layers of materials such as cotton and wool. By working with water, heat, and color, an organic and weathered character emerges, adding profound layers to the surface. This foundation involves creating textures and structures that make transience visually and tangibly evident, such as cracks, frays, and discolorations.
Using free-motion embroidery on a sewing machine, the roses are depicted in an expressive, almost painterly style. By employing threads in various shades of red, pink, and deep brown, complemented by faded tones, the roses become a metaphor for beauty that slowly fades away.
