White Plague Madonna is a portrait created through the freehand machine embroidery technique, where the sewing machine becomes more than a tool and it transforms into an emotional instrument that carves tension into fabric. The figure embodies the fragility of a mind fractured by shattered dreams, suspended between life and death. It reflects the silent endurance of a woman who “bleeds yet drinks the cherry elixir,” an act of aesthetic resistance amid collapse. The Madonna here is not a symbol of sanctity, but of wounded holiness and a sacredness born from human vulnerability.
