This tufted work draws inspiration from the organic formations of brain coral, translated through varying pile heights to create a sense of contracting depth across the surface. The sculpted fiber mimics the rhythmic patterns and growth of coral structures, inviting the viewer to move visually through the piece. To balance the softness of the tufted forms, French beading introduces more concrete, structured elements that extend beyond the surface. Together, these contrasting textile techniques explore the tension between softness and structure while echoing the complexity of coral ecosystems.
