Syona Tapis explores the deep emotional bond between humans and their pets, especially cats and dogs. In my artistic practice, I spin yarn from collected pet fur and transform it into unique textiles. This process makes the relationship tangible, raising questions about closeness, memory, and material connection.
Reactions to this idea are divided—some find it unusual, while others deeply resonate with it. As pets increasingly become family members or even child substitutes, their passing leaves the question: How do we honor their memory? A woven textile can serve this purpose, whether as a wearable piece or a framed artwork that enriches a living space.
I work on commission and discuss each project individually, tailoring every piece to personal wishes. Each work is a unique tribute, preserving the bond between owner and pet in a meaningful and lasting way.
