On a Trip in the World, the textile artwork forms a rolling landscape that makes our minds wander into the worlds of mythical stories. The work consists of two parts, in which the embroidered figures are a small part of a large harmonious whole. The artwork reminds us that it is not good for anyone to be on a trip in the world alone.
The artworks are hand-woven using sheep’s wool and GOTS-certified organic cotton. Each piece is completely plastic-free and made in an environmentally friendly and ethical manner.
