01 / The meaning
The Ward begins with a piece of antique folk embroidery whose exact origin remains untraced. Its small forms, repeated lines and open spaces find a new setting on cotton. In cream, reddish or tonal thread, the motif carries a fragment of that textile memory into everyday wear.

03 / A closer look
Small figures and repeated lines give this motif its rhythm. Tonal thread brings it close to the cloth; cream or reddish thread makes its outline more visible. Each colour keeps the placement shown in its photograph.
