EXPANDED PRACTICE    

Thread in Revolt: A Declaration of Independence for Fabric

We are woven by invisible threads—social conditioning, digital algorithms, and self-scrutiny. Through three textile installations, this exhibition transforms the framework of existence into tangible poetics.

‘Textile Cloth’ uses fabric as paper, documenting the fractures and rebirth from pristine order to kintsugi restoration. ‘Soft Sculpture Head’ brims with surplus speech and data, the body becoming a ruin of consciousness. The ‘Heat-Transfer Fabric’ series renders the invisible imprints of social networks as subtle traces upon the yarn.

This is not an exhibition of answers, but an invitation. An invitation to draw near, to gaze, and to initiate a silent dialogue—between the fabric's warm warp and weft and its cold fissures—about how we are shaped, and how we might reshape ourselves.
