Short concept
I am a mother raising two kids, caring for my mother-in-law who can’t move half of her body, and caring for my brother who stays home and doesn’t go outside.
This life makes me feel controlled by the house, I can’t say yes to help because I feel I have to do everything myself. So I began a practice, knitting with my feet, which cannot be controlled, to learn how to say “help”. First, I ask people to give me their old clothes, cutting and tying them becomes a ritual, and the result is a safety rope I can finally hold onto.
