A Window to My Home

Where is my home? Where do I belong? I have been asking myself this question time and time again, and somwhere trying to find myself I learned that if there is any, it's inside me.

Home means more than a place to me, it offers a feeling that is hidden in the rhythm and movement of life. Needlework is that window in my home sitting by which, I understood the feeling of being timeless in form and function, in getting lost with the cluster of lines diving the time between past, present and future. I always tend to capture myself in a conversation, a shared language with the threads where I can create an identity for myself and yet time stops when I am sitting by that window with my story wrapped within these stitches, consumed by the rhythms of connecting and unraveling someting so intimate. The quietness of the act allows me to slow down and open myself to the universe. The feeling of holding a thread has a lot of warmth to offer and it has only give me that. So, I paint my journey through these threads, traveling through the lines of anxiety and stability constantly, finding myself a home.
