The embroidery on the pillow: record your strange sleeping posture!

We always look forward to having a relaxing and peaceful sleep every night. Maryam Ashkanian, an Iranian artist, concretizes this desire into a work of art, embroidering sleeping people on handmade pillows. Combining embroidery with materials to present creative images of deep dreams. She carefully selected the posture of each 'sleeper', from stretching her arms to embracing herself, each form seemed to tell a different dream story. These embroidered characters match the size of the pillow, as if you can sleep side by side with these dream characters by lying down lightly.  

A sleeping figure is depicted on the pillow in the form of embroidery. This character appears to be in deep sleep, displaying a peaceful and serene posture. From the delicate lines and flowing embroidery stitches, one can see the facial contours, hair, and hand movements of the character.  

Against the backdrop of that pure white pillow, the sleeping posture looked particularly peaceful and serene. Maryam Ashkanian uses particularly delicate needlework to convey this tranquility to each and every one of us. She believes that dreaming is the purest way to observe herself. Without the usual distractions.    

The embroidery lines are very delicate, outlining the contours and facial details of the characters. The fluidity of the lines is very good, as if drawing a sketch. Due to the embroidery on the soft surface of the pillow, it has a certain three-dimensional effect, increasing the tactile and visual level of the work. Through simple black and white embroidery, depict the appearance of characters in dreams.    

These pillows are embroidered with delicate lines, depicting the postures and expressions of characters in their sleep. In this way, it brings everyone a beautiful imagination about dreams and sleep.
