The series explores the erosion experienced by women within intimate relationships. It is important for me to emphasize that the works do not tell my own personal story, but engage with the experiences of many women who shared their stories with me. The idea became clearer to me after I married, but it grew primarily from listening to women speak about feelings of imbalance within relationships, emotional burden, and situations in which one partner holds more power and control than the other. For me, erosion does not happen in a single moment. It is not the result of one event, but of small situations that repeat over time until they accumulate and leave their mark. I chose to begin the series with a ketubah, because it symbolizes the beginning of married life. I re-embroidered the text of the ketubah, almost completely erased the word “rights,” and emphasized the word “obligations” with a red line. Through this choice, I wanted to express the feeling that, for some women, obligations are clear and taken for granted, while their rights do not always receive the same place. The paragraph dealing with promises of a shared life and love was written in pencil and then erased. I wanted to express that these promises are sometimes not fulfilled as hoped. I also embroidered the fingerprints of the bride and groom. The man’s fingerprint is larger, red, and more dominant, occupying more space, while the woman’s fingerprint is smaller and positioned to the side, as a symbol of the power relations between them. I then created the white shirt bearing the word “Erosion.” The word itself is embroidered in an incomplete form. For me, the shirt symbolizes the woman—white and clean on the outside, while the internal erosion is not always visible to those around her. The next work is the mirror. A mirror usually reflects outward appearance, but I wanted instead to reflect the woman’s inner world—fatigue, erosion, pain, confusion, and sometimes a sense of emptiness. I chose to express these feelings abstractly rather than directly. I then created the clock. The clock is composed of different symbols, each representing a thought, emotion, or situation within the relationship. Time is a central element in the work, because erosion itself also takes place over time and does not occur in a single moment. The final work is the table, one of the central elements of the home. On it I embroidered two hands—a man’s hand and a woman’s hand. The man’s hand is larger, embroidered in black, and positioned above the woman’s hand. Threads extend from it containing needles that penetrate the woman’s hand, symbolizing control, imbalance, and erosion within the relationship. I chose embroidery as the central material of the series because it is traditionally associated with women’s work. Embroidery requires time, patience, and repetition, just as erosion does not happen all at once but is gradually constructed, stitch by stitch, until it becomes part of the experience.
