Somewhere in knitted blue




 The series explores everyday motifs and childhood memories created through hand-knitted fabrics and cyanotype prints.
By combining material, technique, and subject matter, the works produce images that range from clearly recognizable to abstract, artistically capturing the transition between precise and vague memories.
The presentation varies: the works are stretched, pulled, or spatially arranged. Certain scenes emerge prominently, while others fade or transform through layering and distortion. 
This interplay of sharpness and blur underscores the complexity of memory and emotion.At the center of the work is the translation of photographs into new forms that express past and present feelings and relationships. 
Personal elements and meaningful objects are integrated into the pieces. Light acts as a connecting medium, creating a collage of fragments of the self and aesthetically revealing the process of remembering and forgetting.
In addition, the tactile nature of the hand-knitted fabrics emphasizes the intimate connection to the past, evoking sensory experiences tied to memory. 
Combining analog and digital techniques, the series bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic practices, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional depth of reconstructed memories.
