3’26” double-channel film
2016

Throughout the ages and across cultures, women have been allowed to sew and to write messages in their needlework.  Like wounded animals trapped in zoos, like birds that have been caged, two women that resemble each other sit in a deep dark hole and sew. The video represents sacrifice, but as pure representation, the needlework plays a significant role.
