SO I AM | Textile collection Donezk

SO I AM deals with the confrontation of past and present. Today overlays yesterday. It plays with the shifting of reality and memory.

This artwork is part of the textile collection Donezk. 
The starting point for the design was an interview with the artist Illya Gros, born in Donezk in Donbass, Eastern Ukraine. What constitutes home? Is it a place, a person, a smell, a dish, a memory or a feeling? Different types of bindings in the woven fabrics are used to create structures and a world of colour that reflect the emotions of the experience. Screen printing, weaving, dyeing and painting were media in my process to find answers.
