My project unfolds across multiple mediums, each reflecting my identity as a creator. From beading and chain stitching to photography, my work resists definition, shaped by process rather than confined by labels. The work I present will vary across categories, yet each piece reflects a shared exploration of humanity—our waste, our connections, our society, and the lessons I’ve absorbed from it all. Through my diverse approaches, I seek to capture the complexities of the world around me, showing that no single medium or style can fully encapsulate the intricacies of the human experience. Whether it’s the tactile nature of beading or the candid snapshots of everyday life, each creation allows me to explore the connections between materiality and meaning. This collection serves as a conversation about how we relate to our surroundings, to each other, and to the passage of time. It’s a reflection of the world’s beauty and contradictions, leaving space for the viewer to pause, reflect, and engage.
BB Daly is a photographer from Los Angeles, working primarily with film to document the complexities of human existence. Their practice blends candid portraiture and environmental shots, capturing the rawness of reality while exploring themes of connection, memory, and personal reflection. In addition to photography, BB Daly integrates hand sewing, beading, and chain stitching as a way of weaving stories into garments. Through these tactile processes, they create intimate narratives, using textiles to embody personal expression. Each stitch and bead reflects their deep connection to the material, preserving memories in physical form. The act of crafting by hand transforms the garment into more than just clothing—it becomes a canvas for storytelling, layering meaning into every thread.
