Work in Progress: Bottle Cap Braided Net

This piece begins with what the sea gives back. Recovered fishing net, sun-bleached, knotted, and scarred by use, becomes the armature for braided strands threaded with salvaged bottle caps. Each braid is a quiet act of repair, gathering what was discarded, listening to its history, and coaxing it into new form.

Together, net and cap hold tension: soft against hard, fluid against fixed, ocean memory against human habit. Still in motion, the work asks to be handled slowly. Knots are negotiated, braids lengthened, stories layered. What is emerging is a record of tides, touch, and the ongoing work of reimagining what we leave behind.
