This mixed-media work combines Joomchi (Korean hand-felted paper), handmade paper, and needle felting to explore growth shaped by care, repair, and time. Organic forms emerge from layers of green—stitched, felted, and built up through touch. Circular elements suggest seeds, cells, or memory points, while visible thread marks honor mending as a form of making. The piece feels both tender and resilient, inviting the viewer to consider what it means to nurture something into being—and what traces are left behind in the process.
