This 50×50 cm hand-felted collage was created through slow layering and intuitive composition. Earth tones and vibrant blues gather into a quiet, blooming form — a soft geometry that invites contemplation. The piece is hand-sewn onto fabric, held gently by visible stitches.
Four peripheral shapes radiate from a central core, evoking petals, cardinal directions, or ritual markers. Rich brown centers are encircled by vibrant blue halos, suggesting movement, energy, or transformation. These elements are connected by soft beige extensions that create a sense of rootedness and flow.
The composition references both natural systems and cultural memory—drawing inspiration from textile traditions, botanical structures, and sacred symbols. Through its materiality and visual rhythm, The Compass of Memory invites contemplation on direction, belonging, and the quiet presence of ancestral knowledge.
