[10] “PADIKI”
“Padiki” is a participatory cross-stitch souvenir structured over seven days. Each day, the participant completes one stitched card; together, the cards assemble into an image of two bunnies. Rooted in how my great aunt taught me and her students in her Ghanaian sewing school to become comfortable with a needle, the project emphasizes daily repetition, care, and learning through making.

A typeface system is informed by the common grid underlying both digital image generation and textile construction. Referencing pixels, squares, cross-stitch, and needlepoint, it investigates the pixel as a shared structural unit across digital and textile processes.
