At its core, ravel comes from the Dutch ravelen or rafelen, meaning to tangle, fray, or unweave, deriving from the idea of threads becoming loose in fabric . Because when something unravels, its threads both separate and tangle, ravel came to mean both to entangle and to disentangle depending on context .

In poetic or metaphorical use, ravel can therefore describe a process of complication or clarification, falling apart or being reassembled — perfectly suited to imagery of cyclical transformation and reconstruction.

In these works, I am exploring how we piece together fragments of experience to build our own sense of reality, shaping meaning from what we see rather than what objectively exists.
