when you look at an analogue photograph, you remember only details of a moment which rekindle your focus on that captured event. much like experiencing it again for the first time, you remember elements which are eclectic and separate: colors, sounds, smells, a particular object or a unique feeling—but ultimately tied together by a train of consciousness, represented here by colored stitches.

while i pass each selected image through meticulous and identical processes of printing, projecting and embroidering, the rhythmic application of my handiwork and the colored fiber onto the photograph allows me to imprint throughout the series the universal recognition of one shared common thread which comes to represent the essence of one’s life.

“by a thread” can be understood as a visual reaffirmation of the fleeting ubiquity of memory we all live.
