Care Package #10. Alysha Rahmat Shah

This unorthodox tree of life demonstrates themes relative to the strange and macabre. I decided to embody all the uncertainty and weirdness the year 2020 has made us all feel. The incorporation of vibrant colours along with fruits and a flowering tree is to signify the potential for better prospects. Present during the embroidery process were attempts to instill ideas and feelings of unconventional comfort with the flowing of the fountain and fruits in flight.
