Olga Prinku is an embroidery artist who uses organic materials as her thread. Her work pays homage to the beauty of nature by arranging dried and preserved natural elements in new ways. Connections is her largest-scale work to date. Birch twigs trapped in tulle fabric, with accents of rice flower, depict a forest scene of tree branches, flowers, foliage and birds flowing across three panels. The piece is inspired by the unity of nature, with the same vein-like branching structures bringing life to both flora and fauna. It speaks to the connectedness of natural systems at a time when biodiversity is under threat, reminding us that we are all part of a greater whole.
