She came unraveled

A performance of my three children unraveling a hand knit wool cardigan from my body.

Motherhood completely unraveled my identity in the beginning. I felt like the person I once knew was completely gone forever. However, what time and reflection has slowly taught me is that person isn’t gone forever, but instead, transformed into something much more stronger/beautiful than I previously was. I needed to be unraveled so that I could rediscover myself again. Part 1 is the stripping away of my former self. Part 2 will be the beautiful transformation of being knit into something new.
