Textile & Healing

Nowadays, people suffer trauma after the pandemic. How to feel relieved is vital. Art therapy is widespread. Therefore, I want to use the textile to help people move forward. I also want to convey to the audience that recovering from trauma helps people grow. The idea was inspired by my own experience during the pandemic. Doing an anonymous survey is my first stage in creating an emotional resonance of healing. Asking ten questions about textiles and making small samples (see the above frame) depend on the answer. I used different answers to create a contrast. The contract I made between suffering and healing reflects people moving forward from trauma and the pandemic.
