Somewhere Between

Coral pink dress with wool-felt roses layered between sheer organza, and a coral pink cape

Wool-felt roses layered between sheer organza, finished with rose-shaped quilting across the surface

Detail of the wool-felt roses, hanging down from stripes of ribbon, all stitched under the coral organza

Organza and satin bias strips stitched closely together, creating a flowing effect

Two girls standing next to each other. One wears a coral dress and stands sideways, wearing a cape decorated with leather petals. The other girl faces the camera, wearing an organza top. Both garments have floral motifs.

Seams shift to the exterior and petals fall, echoing cycles of life and renewal

There is a question that is often debated: Should children be told that life has an ending, that one day, the people they love will leave? Is it a responsible truth, or an unnecessary burden?

I believe children should be told, but gently, through softness, art, and love. My project explores how children understand death not through fear, but through imagination and emotional truth.
