Exhibition: Fiber Art Now /ARTwear 
 
Clowns have always been captivating figures to me. I admire their ability to entertain audiences with their comical antics and vibrant costumes. However, I recognize that clowns are more than just entertainers. They can also represent vulnerability, melancholy, and even tragedy. This duality is what deeply fascinates me and inspires my artistic exploration. 
 

Materials: Leather, textiles. 

Technique: Bead embroidery.
Collective giving. Shared impact. ✨
