Daytime Journey immerses viewers in a landscape bathed in the soft, golden light of dawn or dusk, where day and night intertwine. This juxtaposition symbolizes the fluidity of time and the convergence of life’s phases. The piece invites viewers to explore their memories while reflecting on the self as they traverse the road ahead.
The experience is elevated through a variety of textured embroidery techniques, bringing the landscape to life. The intricate details of the mountains and foliage are beautifully rendered with modern threadwork, while the 3D embroidery on the car’s windshield, dashboard, and wheel creates a striking visual display. This artwork took approximately 4750 hours of handwork to be completed.
