Thread is a body of work that explores themes of change, pain, and pride through colour, texture, and abstract form. These emotions are interwoven—stitched together through tears, flowing moments, and layered shapes—to reflect both the turbulence of our times and the inner landscapes navigated by individuals and communities alike.

In Thread, Tanya Sternberg crafts a visceral and deeply personal visual language that speaks to transformation, loss, and resilience. Using rich textures and a vibrant, emotive palette, she maps emotional geographies that resonate on both personal and collective levels. Each piece becomes a kind of cartography, tracing the fractures and continuities that shape us during periods of upheaval and growth.

“Through the medium of tapestry, we are connected with every stitch. As humanity, we feel the cutting of each thread.” — Tanya Sternberg
