hanging by a thread | ceramics, copper wire, thread | 2023
โโฆAs I continue learning how to be vulnerable with others, Iโll think back to the times when I felt like these shattered vessels, only to be shown how to rebuild myself, not alone but with the support of those who love me. hanging by a thread is teaching me that by valuing and relying on each otherโs distinct strengths, we can accompany one another in transforming the unbearable aspects of our lives into surmountable obstacles.โ
Thank you to those who attended the exhibition in person or in spirit and to the organizers for including my work. Abrazos ๐

Two sold-out workshops. 40+ makers. One powerful mission. Together we raised $2,000 for the ACLU @aclu_nationwide to help defend the rights of immigrants and communities who need it most ๐๐ฏ
To everyone who came through, sewed their hearts out, embroidered in the lounge, grabbed a coffee, shared a poem, and brought the energy โ THANK YOU!!! ๐ You made Sew Rebellious everything we dreamed it would be and more โผ๏ธ
This is what happens when creativity meets cause. ๐ช๐งต
