"Carried Away" drifts between serenity and dreamlike escape. A woman reclines on a lotus, her arm draped over her face as if lost in thought or surrender. Dressed in a flowing pink gown, she floats effortlessly above the water, where glimpses of fish and aquatic plants emerge beneath the surface. Layers of hand-cut small pieces of fabric and free-motion stitching create a rich, fluid environment, blending the seen and unseen. Delicate threadwork brings movement to the water, while the lotus cradles her in quiet stillness. This piece invites the viewer into a moment of peaceful suspension, where reality and reverie intertwine.
