Water has always been a source of peace and healing for my mother. As a grandmother of six, she shares this love with others, especially through swimming. The flowing stitches and wave-like patterns in this piece evoke her deep connection to water—not only as a physical element but as an emotional refuge. It represents her calm presence, her strength, and the way she carries and soothes those around her.
