Hanging Around is a textile-based installation project that explores memory, heritage, and the emotional weight of domestic objects. Inspired by my Portuguese roots, the series includes six large-scale wall pieces—four woven tapestries and two pastel drawings—each offering a different approach to visual storytelling through texture, form, and scale. The project showcases a variety of techniques and materials, emphasizing both the physical presence and conceptual depth of textile work.

Three of the woven pieces were developed during a residency at the TextileLab in Tilburg, where I was able to experiment with structure, layering, and scale in new ways. The full collection reflects the core of Studio Sorina’s values: combining tradition with imagination, function with narrative. Hanging Around invites viewers to linger—engaging with the tactile details and rethinking how textile can hold personal and cultural stories.
