Have Heart is a love letter to interdependence and interconnectedness in grassroots activism. Created from remnants of second-hand garments and bedding, the works blur the lines between weaving, quilting, patchwork, and embroidery. The works reflect on transforming the discarded into the meaningful, celebrating small acts of creation as resistance. Against a backdrop of institutional violence, inequity, and environmental destruction, Have Heart reminds us of our shared ability to heal through community-driven action. The works call for faith in humanity, encouraging us to sustain one another and the soul through collective care and the pursuit of a kinder world.
