In the process of making the full use of embroidery, Sakata has realized that the needle and thread are deeply rooted in women’s history and social backgrounds, and she continues to work to sublimate them into a new value in contemporary art.
Embroidery is not just a “handwork” but an important means of expression that connects the past and the future.
The theme is “heartache and fear. ” she seeks to create beautiful artworks that may free us from these fears.
