This masterwork examines the intersection of typography and textiles from a feminist perspective. Fan scarves, traditionally masculine symbols of team spirit, also carry powerful social, cultural, and political messages. The hand-knitted scarf features a hidden message: "When a woman does it, it’s craft, but when a man does it, it’s art," highlighting the double standard in creative work. The project engages viewers, showing how objects carry multiple meanings, visible only from new perspectives. A printed book further explores the project’s layers.
