The red, white, and dark green palette evokes flowers, leaves, and the rich colors of the natural world. The silk threads bring softness and luminosity to the intricate needle lace, while the deep green provides a grounding contrast to the vibrant red and delicate white. Hand-created in needle lace, the piece is inspired by the Anatolian “Oya” tradition of transforming thread, color, and intricate stitches into wearable expressions of beauty, memory, and cultural heritage.
