This series consists of three bouquets of hydrangeas in their three main colors. It was inspired by an emotional comment my mother made before her passing in 2021, and I wanted to honor her dedication, patience, and love in life by creating these works.
While sorting through her art studio, I discovered a vast collection of vintage silk kimono swatches that had been passed down to her from my grandfather. I began exploring my ancestry and the history of these kimono swatches while also creating tapestry artworks through appliqué.
