The Thread Project
I am a tailor,
I weave a story.
I am a tailor,
I stitch the voices of people.
I am a tailor,
I sew the struggles of labor.
I am a tailor,
I hem the dreams of youth.
I am a tailor,
I mend the journeys of migrants.
I am a tailor,
I thread the hopes of my community.
I am a tailor,
I patch the wounds of the marginalized.
I am a tailor,
I measure the borders we cross.
I am a tailor,
I fasten the ties of connection.
I am a tailor,
I craft the fabric of life.
I am a tailor,
I embroider the soul of a nation.
I am a tailor,
I sew the stories of those used and unseen.
I am a tailor,
I stitch together what others tear apart.
I am a tailor,
I tailor to transform.
I am a tailor,
I knit to unite the world as one.
I am a tailor,
I stitch to heal.
I am a tailor,
And I tell the story of the thread.
The Thread Project is about human connection; the stories of those who have been displaced, the voices of the marginalized, and the shared experiences that unite us.Through this lens, the work reflects on movement, migration, and memory, where the simple act of weaving becomes a powerful narrative tool. In this process, threads trace the borders we cross, stitches work to heal what has been torn apart, and fabric ultimately carries the stories of those who remain unheard and unseen.
Presented as an installation and performance at Gallery Mcube in 2025, the project comes to life through collaboration. With special thanks to Constanza Bitthoff for an inspiring artistic collaboration and to Moa Edmunds Guevara for the evocative musical composition that deepens the work’s emotional resonance.
