My Saori weavings are an intuitive and deeply personal response to my sudden diagnosis of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD)—a condition that disrupts corneal healing and causes constant shifts in vision. Just after childbirth, before I had the chance to fully process the changes in my body and life, I was thrown into the uncertainty of acquired sight loss.
These woven panels reflect my transformation—moments of struggle intertwined with signals of hope. The soft, neutral tones and fluid lines capture a sense of ebb and flow, while vibrant flashes of orange symbolise resilience and optimism. Through this work, I explore the importance of pausing, breathing, and expanding—making space for discomfort while recognising that challenges, though inevitable, can be met with growth and strength.
This creative process has been more than just an artistic practice; it has been a way of learning to live with my condition. It has taught me to shift my mindset—to see my diagnosis not as a limitation, but as an opportunity to adapt and evolve. By reframing adversity, I’ve found agency and empowerment, and I hope my work encourages others to do the same. - Kass
