The work represents an artistic reflection on the contrasts of our everyday life, presented as a reconstruction of the opposition between the digital and craft modes. The author explores alternative uses of household textiles and creates colourful worlds – textile gardens that she reconstructs, enriches, and brings back to life with a new purpose.
