Act 3: Mending

Using the cloth imprinted during What Were You Wearing?, E.L. Elliott begins the slow, deliberate act of stitching the fragments together. Each stitch holds a trace of remembrance, connecting individual lives through a shared fabric of grief, care and collective witness. Mending becomes both an act of tenderness and a recognition of the damage that cannot simply be undone. The work asks what it means to gather the pieces, carry the memory and continue the work of repair.
