She created a process that introduces numbers from her surroundings to add parameters as she is crocheting intuitively. Here, for example, she went for a walk from her car to her studio where she kept note of the day and date, number of steps, in addition to the elevator floors selected by her and others. In this way, this crochet project becomes an archive of the day–a record of place, time where she walked and who she interacted with. A playful way to break the / change the traditionally preset dynamic of crochet, injecting elements of the everyday as a way to reinterpret how to create art. Opportunity to journal what she encounters, to make them part of her process, and display as an outcome in the shape or form of the art.

This work-in-progress series serves as a departure from working primarily with textiles, where the artist finds herself veering away from the conventional medium and redirecting her artistic inquiries toward alternative materials that possess yarn-like properties.

Thus, Sulafa began experimenting with black garbage bags, ingeniously repurposing them into elongated, slender strips. This expansion of her material palette not only nurtures her creative growth but also unlocks possibilities for unconventional textures, shapes, and techniques that elude traditional artistic supplies. Resourcefulness becomes a guiding principle, as she skillfully employs the resources readily available within her immediate environment, building an intimate acquaintance with the materiality of the medium and exploring ways to manipulate it within her artistic practice.
