This commissioned textile artwork was created for the low-rent apartments in Rockwood, Gresham, as a symbol of resilience and community. Using salvaged fabrics and layered stitching, it reflects the vibrant stories of residents—each thread representing hope, migration, and survival. The piece honors the strength found in shared spaces and the quiet dignity of those building new lives. Inspired by local landscapes and cultural diversity, it invites viewers to see beauty in the overlooked and value in every thread.
It was an honor making this piece.
