“A replication of childhood memories: my mother used to do these amazing intricate hand embroideries on cloth. I took inspiration from her and started to paint those textiles using gouache on wasli (handmade paper).

In this tiny painting, you can see some embroidery done in cross-stitch. The stains on the cloth remind us that as time passes things become old and their beauty starts to fade away.”
