About the Artwork
The Four Stages of Grief
Embroidery
The Four Stages of Grief is a deeply contemplative work that interprets the emotional journey of grief through the medium of hand embroidery. Each element of the piece represents a stage in the grieving process, capturing both the subtle nuances and universal aspects of loss and healing. Mongoven’s careful use of texture, pattern, and composition transforms thread into a visual language that communicates resilience, vulnerability, and the passage toward acceptance. The work encourages viewers to engage with their own experiences of grief and to reflect on the transformative potential of emotional expression.
