In a contemporary art scene full of experimentation and new creative technique, Nilya Bundasak, also known as Tuayfoo, a 33-year-old artist, chooses to tell stories through thread and embroidery. Her work captures everyday life, communities, culture, and even fashion, bringing a fresh, vibrant handmade craft to life. In this issue of Art Mode, we explore her world through a conversation that uncovers her inspirations, creative process, and perspective on art—where each stitch comes alive, weaving memories into a style that is uniquely her own.
