Fabricated?
See the work of conceptual artist Caren Garfen, whose meticulously hand-stitched pieces reflect a response to the rise of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, misinformation and fabrications on social media. Her small, detailed embroideries include that of the miniature home of a Jewish family in 1930s Germany and 600 yellow stars, each representing 10,000 Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
