Gathered from the village

What comes after capitalism? In order to generate a possible outcome regarding my concept, I decided to create a 4 hats collection and a scrapbook documenting my experience while immersed in the community and using exclusively the already existing resources at SAH. Maria very generously donated me hand embroidered samples, lace and buttons, crafted by her family and people from the village. I then hand stitched one hat for each resident including me, and did a photoshoot together on a very sunny day in Viisoara.

"This experience was complete because it was the four of us, and I couldn't be more grateful that we were brought together here.
I will fondly remember the two weeks spent in Viișoara (Hundorf), how it welcomed me, offered me new friendships, a sense of community, and the energy to continue what I do."
