_Self-portrait

as a Chuvashian woman in menopause

embroidery by Tatiana Zakharova-Goodman; a large canvas featuring black embroidery of Chuvashian motives over paint

Touching and feeling my body through cloth

Washing off red paint as a woman in menopause reminded of what is no more

Studying Chuvashian embroidery motives

Leaving threads , always leaving threads
