Embroidery is a way to create art solely through careful hand movements and directing embroidery floss back and forth through a piece of fabric. For this composition, I wanted to tell a story based on an old photograph of my father and me from my childhood in New York. My father was carrying me and we are walking away from the cabin he built in our backyard, surrounded by trees and greenery. This was a special place we went to growing up and how we bonded, so it was important to me to include this in the background and made it a focal point. Creating this image in a circular shape made it feel more personalized and special to my situation.
