A SACRED COSMOLOGY

My work in this series unfolds as one evolving, immersive universe, a contemporary mythical garden. It constructs a personal cosmology: a system in which myth and material inquiry coexist. Reimagining the sacred gardens of the past within the landscape of an interior world, the work brings archetype, landscape, and embodiment into a shared symbolic terrain.

Through ritualized processes of hand-pleating, embroidery, natural dyeing, and layering, textured and suspended surfaces emerge, fields that suggest invisible forces shaping existence. These forms hover between presence and absence, evoking what is felt but not always seen. The practice considers unseen connectivity as both spiritual proposition and structural reality.

Trees and mountains function as foundational elements within this growing garden. The tree becomes both body and threshold, bridging heaven, earth, and underworld. The mountain emerges as archetypal terrain: stable yet fluid, nurturing yet formidable. Across cultures, such forms are understood as axis mundi, sites where earthly and divine converge.

Inspired by legendary gardens and cosmological myths, the work evokes protection, devotion, cyclical renewal, and the quiet persistence of belief. At the same time, it is grounded in material experimentation and disciplined process, where repetition, structure, and physical transformation anchor symbolic meaning.

Together, these sculptural textiles form a sacred topography where garden, body, landscape, and cosmos intersect. Textile becomes threshold, a living medium through which myth and matter, the measurable and the ineffable, are brought into visible form.
