A cross of neon light cuts through darkness, stitched across a barely visible face that seems to be surfacing—or sinking. The red thread, hand-sewn with intent, speaks of the tension between the spiritual and the carnal, the revealed and the repressed. This piece captures the inner clash of faith and trauma, where every stitch is both a wound and a path. The manual intervention becomes an act of redemption and violence—an intersection of the divine and the human.
