Surface Memory explores textile as a surface of inscription, where traces of place, material, and time become visible. The work is composed of linen fragments dyed with flowers and stinging nettle through natural dyeing processes that embrace variation and unpredictability.

Rather than treating color as a fixed layer, the dyeing process allows the plant materials to leave subtle marks, stains, and tonal shifts on the fabric. These traces record moments of contact between textile and plant, creating a surface that carries evidence of transformation.

Assembled from individual fragments, the work resembles an archive of impressions. Memory is understood not as a narrative, but as a material residue embedded within the textile itself. The surface becomes a space where natural processes, chance, and human intervention converge, leaving behind a quiet record of their encounter.
