Yépez blends quilting with photography to create contemporary fiber art, exploring themes of memory and loss through repurposed images and mixed media techniques.
Fiber art, historically associated with feminine domesticity, is increasingly recognized as legitimate art, challenging traditional distinctions between craft and artistry.
Yépez's work 'Mujeres' is inspired by a precious photo from a family friend, showcasing women seamstresses who embodied community and connection in her hometown.
Her creative process is therapeutic, deeply personal, and serves to memorialize individuals and shared histories through innovative textile practices.
