Hand Embroidered Jacket

Materials: Embroidery Thread

2018-

Personal Project

This piece began as a patient and intentional project during my college years and has since evolved into what I consider my "lifetime side project." What started as simple hand embroidery has grown into a personal reflection of both my creative process and my journey toward mindfulness. Each stitch represents a moment of focus and dedication, and the repetitive nature of the work allows me to quiet my mind.

The jacket is not just a garment but a canvas that evolves over time, mirroring my growth and changing ideas. My approach to embroidery is meticulous—every stitch is carefully placed, and no detail is overlooked. The slow, deliberate nature of handwork speaks to my commitment to the process, teaching me patience and precision with every thread.

I envision one day fully tattooing the jacket, turning it into an ever-evolving wearable art piece. It symbolizes my ongoing journey of creativity, patience, and personal expression, with each addition marking a step in my artistic development.

This project showcases my attention to detail, my ability to sustain focus over time, and my belief in the value of process over product. It’s not just a piece of clothing; it’s an investment in the quiet, meditative moments that make up the fabric of life.
