Beyond the Cloth
Isn’t the human being more than what they wear?
By Gebrelwa Worku
Gebrelwa Worku explores human identity and value through fabric, color, and texture. Inspired by her father, renowned painter Worku Mamo, she transforms discarded and new textiles into layered compositions that question society’s focus on appearance over essence. By dyeing, sewing, and manipulating fabric, she creates vibrant works that celebrate the human presence and reveal the tension between what is overlooked and what is valued.
