WOMEN OF S'FARAD (I-III)
– Sun and Moon-Filled Sensibilities Entwined

In weaving tapestries inspired by Sephardic songs, I chose the women to take center stage. The lyrical glimpses I get of their joys, struggles, adornments, and natural settings are turning into tapestries of contrasts: the color-absent black and white; vibrant hues; and strict and soft lines and shapes.
