I recoiled at the pain. It was heartbreaking, seeing the images of children being put on the boats by their parents knowing that they may never see them again.
I was shocked to find that 2019 UN report. Twenty-five million is an astronomical number. It's hard to grasp an understanding of how many people that truly is.
I bought a quilting machine that makes the stitches very distinct, like hand-sewn stitches rather than machine stitches. I broke the machine in two-and-a-half days.
So I thought I could make art that makes this issue more relatable. An exhibit features approximately 2,200 stitched panels by 2,200 stitchers from around the world.
