My thesis is about breaking the cycle of grief by learning to grow with my inner child. I honor my memories of childhood, not as fleeting moments lost in the past, but as an integral part of my identity now. I designed knit textiles and silhouettes inspired by the objects that decorated the interior of my childhood home: The sunflower paintings that hung on the walls. My family’s worn-out couch. My mother’s collection of ceramics and antiques.
