Mermaid Purse: Stingray Eggcase

This jacquard-woven piece is inspired by a stingray egg case, or "mermaid purse," that I found. I have always been drawn to their unique, organic shape, which is often unrecognizable and non-representational. In this work, I aim to capture that form using the structure of jacquard weaving, turning the natural object into a more abstract expression. Through this process, I explore the connection between natural forms and the technical precision of weaving.
