Tendrill

Threads intertwine like memories, weaving together the seen and the unseen, the personal and the collective. Tendril explores the organic expansion of thought, emotion, and transformation—how the subconscious unfurls like fiber, reaching outward while anchoring within.
Rooted in the meditative act of fiber techniques, my soft sculptures serve as extensions of the body, vessels for introspection, and sites of quiet metamorphosis. Inspired by Nuo Opera’s ritualistic transformation, these forms become masks, veils, and protective skins—barriers and bridges between self and world. As strands knot, loop, and expand, they mirror how human experiences interlace, forming intricate networks of memory, trauma, and healing.
Like the creeping tendrils of a vine, growth is both delicate and persistent—an entanglement of past and present, subconscious and conscious, individual and collective. These same threads echo patterns found in nature, from the branching veins of leaves to the flowing tentacles of deep-sea creatures. My forms borrow from the organic language of the natural world—coral polyps, mycelial networks, and the soft undulations of aquatic life—blurring the line between the human body and the living ecosystems that shape us.
Tendril is a space for connection, an unfolding of fibers that bind us not only to ourselves and to each other but also to the vast, interwoven rhythms of nature.
