Hand-embroidered cloths coded with stories about which they are silent
When our people were in pain, they sang this pain in songs and healed wounds with hand-embroidered cloth. The cloth is a speech expressed in the artistic language of ornament, where every symbol has a meaning. They are part of our code. They are part of the people's memory of where this war will be one day.
We embroidered cloths by hand to retell stories of sexual violence committed by russian occupiers against people who do not exist in reality. But these stories are collected from dark events that happened in real life, and from the bright ones, that definitely will happen. It will happen, because the fact is: wounds will heal, life will win, and we will overcome everything.
