The materials Lemonias chooses are central to the meaning of her work. She incorporates used baby clothes, along with garments belonging to herself and her mother, who has also performed care work for many years. Reworking these materials allows her to trace a lineage of labor that is both personal and structural. These textiles carry memory: the softness of infancy, the stains of daily use, the repetition of care that fills days and years. When sewn, layered, and manipulated, they transform into a record of the bodies that wore them and the hands that cared for those bodies. Through this process, she destabilizes familiar images that have historically been used to stereotype or flatten Black caregivers, repositioning these materials as sites of resistance rather than subservience.
