Su Embroidery Series

Spec: 14.5 × 19.5 cm (Embroidery area 8 × 12 cm)

This Series is inspired by Su embroidery — one of the four great traditional Chinese embroidery styles — particularly its random stitch technique. Unlike the precision and uniformity often sought in classical embroidery, this method embraces fluidity and freedom. Each stitch varies slightly in angle and length, creating intricate layers when viewed up close, and a soft, natural gradient from afar.

Intentional gaps and open spaces are left throughout the piece, allowing it to breathe between density and emptiness. These hollowed sections are not merely visual design; they represent a dialogue with tradition — a search for balance and stillness within the complexity of handcraft, where embroidery becomes more than depiction, but a trace of contemplation.
