A gorgeously bold roaring lion motif in a rainbow of colours. This intricately hand embroidered jacket has been inspired by pixel art. Mayuri’s choice of method – the humble but supremely versatile cross stitch speaks volumes. This piece of wearable art is all about “crossing out” everything that stands in the way of inner peace and serenity. What brings us down? The Obligation to fit into a restrictive mould that society has manufactured. The embarrassment we feel at being unable to help others when our hands are already full of our own issues. The fear of being alone, of being good, or not good enough. The hesitation of speaking our truth in order to please people who don’t matter. Let us put a cross through all of that – a cross to saying yes when every fibre in our souls is screaming NO!
