In "Remembrance", a single poppy blooms in luminous reds and oranges, its petals unfolding with quiet power. The center is delicately hand-embroidered, each black stamen stitched into the canvas as an intentional gesture that blurs the boundary between painting and textile, image and object.

This blend of oil and thread suggests the way memory itself is layered, part vivid, part fragile, always textured. Poppies have long symbolized remembrance and resilience. Here, their significance is both personal and universal: an invitation to honor the past while standing fully in the present.

By combining traditional painting with embroidery, this work reclaims a historically “feminine” craft as fine art, offering a subtle testament to the worth and visibility of every woman’s story.
