Klaglings are beings that embody grief or take it on— not necessarily in pain, but perhaps even healing. Klaglings are “grief recyclers.”- a place where things are allowed to stay. Where time stretches, traces remain, and real connection is possible. The digital world moves fast, leaving little room for depth; so much is fleeting, polished, optimized. In working with textiles, I’ve found the opposite: a tactile home, a space that embraces imperfection. The Klagling stands for this space—quiet, soft, receptive. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to feel. And that you don’t have to carry everything alone.
