I stitch until the surface is completely covered. The marks are made slowly, one at a time. The needle pierces and then mends the cloth.

I can’t control the world around me, but I can control this. The process is not rushed, the fabric is caressed, the time taken is visible. The cloth becomes stronger because of the amount of thread I add.
