In 2022, I was listening to many recorded dharma discourses from the renowned buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. Inspired by his teachings, and the way he so clearly conveyed the buddha’s message, I began to sew a monk in the main tree of the tapestry to represent his energy. A week after I began sewing his likeness, he died. For the following week, I continued to sew his figure while listening to the week-long celebration of life and funeral via the monastery live-stream.
