AKOU Journal
Reflections that give rise to the works.
The works rarely begin with a drawing.
They often begin with a question.
Why do we find it so difficult to return to ourselves?
Why do certain places bring us a sense of peace?
Why can a material awaken a memory?
In this journal, I share the reflections that nourish my work.
Some of them become works of art.
Why Akou Exists
Akou was born from a question: how can we help someone find their way back to themselves? Through textile art, wool became another language — one that speaks through texture, emotion and memory.
