Embroidered red series

Cultural identity and embodied perception

This series examines cultural identity as an embodied and constructed condition.

It focuses on how inherited visual languages and social frameworks - including gender roles - shape the perception of the self and the body. Traditional ornament is used as a carrier of cultural memory and is transferred onto fragile, everyday materials such as toilet paper, sanitary pads, and broken shells.

This displacement introduces a tension between permanence and vulnerability, as stable symbolic systems are applied to materials associated with temporality, intimacy, and taboo. The body is addressed indirectly, through these materials and their cultural associations.

The works combine controlled composition with elements of fragility and disruption, reflecting identity as a structure that is both formed and unstable.
