Woman is a woven tapestry created on a table loom, made over a period of three months through an entirely improvised process. During a challenging phase of my life, this deeply personal piece took form without a predetermined design; I only grasped its essence upon completion. For me, it signifies a psychological journey of integrating every aspect of my being. In many respects, it mirrors my own identity, while also encapsulating the essence of womanhood.
Women are often linked with the transformation mysteries, as we navigate numerous bodily changes throughout our lives. From menstruation to pregnancy, our bodies undergo significant shifts, marked by distinct phases. Unlike men, we possess a unique connection to these cyclical processes, which I view as a potent form of innate strength.
