My emotion:

Skilled hands focused on embroidering precious details: this image has accompanied my childhood, as it has for many children here in Sicily.

Under the clear light of the skylight in her house, my grandmother embroidered, with patience and precision, her precious lace, and I watched her, admiring, bring to life a delicate beauty of shapes and colors. 

Embroidery, in Sicily and beyond, has been a hobby for women to cultivate but sometimes also a means to support the family income or to become financially independent.
