Welcome Welcome

A black-and-white beach photograph stitched with color and a looping thread of welcome.

A young child stands on a wide beach in a vintage black-and-white photograph. Embroidered threads of red, green, and blue are stitched across the image, tracing the outline of a large cruise ship approaching shore. A strand of thread flows from the child’s hand and spells the word “welcome” in looping script. The stitched color interrupts the grayscale scene, adding warmth and invitation. The piece reflects memory, hospitality, and the layered story of place.
