Weaving Skin: A 60 Day Ritual of Healing and Care is a daily weaving practice exploring the intersections of healing, materiality, and time. From October 6 to December 6, I weave one small textile each day, sixty in total as a way to slow down, breathe, and reconnect to myself; to live the present as a process of life and inner healing.

The project grows from motherhood and the ongoing reality of caring for a child whose skin carries visible fragility and difference, requiring constant care. Here, skin becomes both a metaphor and a condition, a living surface that feels, scars, and protects. It’s where vulnerability and strength meet, where pain becomes visible, and love demands presence. Using natural fibers, repurposed textiles, and self-made biomaterials, I translate the language of skin, its dryness, tension, and marks, into texture and color. The process is slow, tactile, imperfect. Through repetition and touch, weaving becomes a gesture of resilience and presence, a way to mend what time, trauma, and care reveal. Not everything heals, but each gesture becomes a step toward acceptance.
