Mythos Wall Hanging

Humans have always sought to understand the origins of the universe. Creation myths are nearly universal, offering insights into how we, as a species, make sense of existence. Recently, I’ve been reading Mythos by the brilliant Stephen Fry — a wise, inspired, and subversively funny book. In it, Fry presents a vivid retelling of the classic Greek myths.
According to the Greeks, the universe didn’t begin with a bang or an explosion, but with CHAOS — a fascinating concept that frames creation not as destruction, but as potential.
As I read, I couldn’t stop thinking about the circularity of life and how everything is connected. That idea deeply inspired this design: a representation of the life cycle, embodied in the form of a round wreath.
I set out to create a contemporary knitted wreath — a textured wall hanging that can be enjoyed all year round, celebrating the quiet poetry of beginnings, endings, and everything in between.
