This abstract artwork features a striking silhouette of a cat set against a visually captivating background. The composition is dominated by a bold, geometric pattern of intersecting lines and shapes in a muted color palette of grays, blues, and pinks.

Miranda Fengyuan Zhang approaches fabric as a vibrant storyteller, crafting woven landscapes that explore identity, memory, and the interplay between tradition and modernity. Her work elevates textile beyond craft, positioning it as a profound medium for personal and collective storytelling.
