This body of work explores energetic flow—how energy rises, falls, and circulates within living systems. Using the chakras as a framework rather than a belief structure, I investigate energy as movement: ascending and descending, gathering and releasing. The works in this exhibition span the past four years and reflect an ongoing inquiry into balance and regulation.

My practice brings together spirituality, creative technology, and embodied making. Working across painting, drawing, and the digital processes of machine embroidery, I allow traditional techniques to converse with contemporary tools. I am interested in how human and machine systems mirror one another through rhythm, repetition, and attention.

Embroidery is central to this work. Historically associated with undervalued women’s labor, it functions here as a meditative process. Density, repetition, and color become records of time, care, and presence. Rather than illustrating chakras, these works map energetic states—activation, rest, blockage, and flow—offering a space to pause and sense, and positioning art as an act of quiet care.
