As citizens we have been forced to adapt, change and reframe how we live day-to-day and year-by-year. The Fragmented Constellation series is always evocative of this: Changing beautifully, remaining resilient optimistically.

The original pattern is created using linocut technique then transferred to embroidery. The embroidered diamond-shaped disks are mounted to magnetic sheets. The artwork lives on a canvas surface with a wooden frame and an acrylic casing box." (Sabrina Jauffret, 2022)
