The Stitched Autonomy series combines ancient and contemporary Assyrian graphic symbols traditionally found on Assyrian costumes with the freedom and individuality found in contemporary fashion. The series consists of embroidered patches, sweatshirts, t-shirts and hats that represent wearable visual canvases, allowing individuals to embrace and showcase their Assyrian roots. With the ability to be affixed to any garment or worn independently, these pieces offer a sense of autonomy, enabling the wearer to carry their heritage wherever they go. Whether adorning a jacket, jeans, or a bag, the patches infuse a touch of cultural identity into everyday fashion. The power of Stitched Autonomy lies in its ability to transcend boundaries. It becomes a visual language that communicates both the individual’s personal autonomy and a collective celebration of Assyrian heritage. By blending traditional aesthetics with contemporary fashion, the series invites wearers and viewers alike to reflect on the strength, resilience, and beauty of Assyrian culture, fostering a sense of pride and connection. This series encourages us to reimagine the significance of our clothing as more than just fabric and stitches but as vessels of identity, self-expression, and cultural heritage. Stitched Autonomy serves as a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and an embrace of a future where tradition and autonomy coexist harmoniously.
