Valley of Threads: A Journey Through Mountains & Memories

This framed textile composition reimagines a serene mountain range at sunrise, crafted entirely from discarded fabric pieces. The bold triangles evoke the majesty of Himalayan peaks, stitched in deep earthy hues—rust, indigo, and ivory—symbolizing resilience, rootedness, and calm. At the top, a crimson sun rises, bringing warmth and hope, while flowing stitch lines depict early morning winds moving across the sky. The bottom edge features an old sari border repurposed as a symbolic river of culture, tradition, and feminine energy. This single strip not only connects the elements visually but also ties past memories to present purpose. What makes this piece truly special is its origin—fabric once forgotten, now revived through art. Each scrap carries a story, perhaps of an old garment, a festival, or a loved one. Together, they form a landscape that isn’t just about geography—it’s about transformation. This work is a part of the PoonamEcoCraft philosophy—upcycling textile waste into meaningful art that honors sustainability, celebrates heritage, and inspires others to see the beauty in what we usually throw away.
