A vivid wall-based series exploring the intersection of domesticity, craft, and quiet resistance.

Each piece features a cluster of five brightly coloured glass-tipped pins, tiny weapons of precision and beauty, mounted in painted embroidery hoops like shields. Lined up in their matching frames, they become both decoration and defence, a kind of domestic armour.
