Un-knotting stories

On a stage lit in neon, drowning in kaleidoscopic noise, Samaira found solace in her mother’s artwork.
She had discovered woven elegance in her attic, uncovered forgotten stories from an era long past.


Each design held depth, contrasting with the fleeting scroll of social feeds. Knotted deliberately, some stories did not give in to untangling and stayed true to their original design.


She looked for handwritten notes tucked inside library books and poetry on park benches—all the places her mother visited. Soon, a pattern emerged with meaning beyond pixels.
The world shifted, ever so slightly, if only for Samaira.

  1. Love this term, “drowning in kaleidoscopic noise” as it encompasses so much. I like where you took this image, Reena, a daughter’s search for meaning in her mother’s creative expression.
