Exhibition period: September 19 – October 4, 2025

In her most recent exhibition, the artist delves into memory, time, history, archives, heritage, and identity. Button is a combination of personal clothing collected over the years, including borrowed garments that will never be returned. Emerging from textiles and threads, these works are created through crochet and a hand-stitching technique known as dhunge mutunge: a quick, seemingly chaotic but firm gesture, capable of holding two sides together—just like a button.
