Shifting Grounds
New Zealand, 2025
Different paths woven together: meeting and parting. Textures, patterns and colours that converge and diverge. A solid foundation that gradually begins to unravel, shaken by the many circumstances of adapting to unfamiliar territory. Far from my comfort zone, everything feels unstable, and there is a constant struggle to find even the smallest sense of stability. Paths shaped by repeated attempts and continuous change. It feels like walking on shifting ground. Yet I continue searching for a stable life here, in this new place.
A woven piece created during a process of migration, exploring the feelings of uncertainty that arise when adapting to a new place. The work was exhibited as part of a group exhibition at the Linwood Community Arts Center in Christchurch, New Zealand.
