“I took silk scraps from my girls’ baby clothes that were made in India. All of these scraps were sewn together with gold thread in kind of a quilt fashion and is presented on an oval shaped loom frame. And to me, that shows that all these different scraps, torn and worn, can indeed be sewn together and that something beautiful can come from even traumatic experiences. It teaches us more about the importance of healing and how we begin to bind to one another through our experiences and how we begin to fall into place into one another’s lives. These scraps were all made in India and many of the teenage girls who are being held are from India and Pakistan, so I felt that this was very symbolic of the Asian Culture.”
